“That is, with men. With women he was what They pleased to make or take him for; and their Imagination ’s quite enough for that: So that the outline ’s tolerably fair, They fill the canvas up—and verbum sat. If once their phantasies be brought to bear Upon an object, whether sad or playful, They can transfigure brighter than a Raphael.” — Lord Byron
