“You can put a Miss America in a room with a group of other attractive women and you’ll find you will know exactly who she is. It’s almost like a magnet. There is an inner beauty, an inner glow.”

“What heaven-entreated heart is this
Stands trembling at the gate of bliss;
Holds fast the door, yet dares not venture
Fairly to open it and enter?
Whose definition is a doubt
‘Twixt life and death, ‘twixt in and out?”
—Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
