Beauties of the world

Beauties unheard are numerous.
The heard are such as Helen of Troy,
Sakuntala and Cleopatra.

Beauties unseen are countless.
Those seen are such as Aiswraya Roy,
Jacqueline Kennedy and Marlin Monroe.

Beauties untouched are numberless.
The touched are such as the spouse,
The beloved ones and harlots.

Ability to see beauty
In women and get obsessed with it
Is the prerogative of man.

[ Sakuntala is a character in a Sanskrit play by same name by the poet, Kalidasa ]
