"Her skin is smooth as marble, generally burnt lightly to an apricot honey colours; her hair is biscuit coloured and of the finest spun silk and clean and sweetly smelling as a baby's after his bath; her nose is so delicate and sensitive that she seems to be conscious of perfumes too subtle for others to enjoy - the perfumes perhaps of her own beauty; her teeth are large and more glistening than pearls; her generous mouth is more delicately controlled than it seems in photographs; as for her eyes, there have never been such before, in expression so quizzical, compassionate and languorous, so deepset and of such unforgettable blue; they have large, dark irises, and boast lashes so long that it is impossible to belive that they are real, for only a few childreen have such a poetic growth. She has the tragic quality of a child."
(Cecil Beaton)
