There is a saying of Majnun, the great lover of Persia. "Oh, Majnun", they said, "your girl is not as beautiful as you think. You are sacrificing your life; you grieve for ages and ages for that girl; but she is not so beautiful." Majnun answered, "You should see my Leila with my eyes; it is the eyes of my heart you need. My heart has made my Leila." That is called an ideal; and the ideal of perfection makes it beauty.
