Metaphor in Context
I cannot, Lucy, enter into your raillery in regard to Miss Harley; I do not think her amiable; but were she all that cou'd attract, "Envy in woman, or desire in man," her charms wou'd be intirely lost on me.--My eyes are closed to beauty; I only feel its power, when I turn them inward, and gaze upon the image in my heart.
