''What Beauty Is To The Geometrist'' Reprised

What beauty is (to the geometrist), is the shape of the Golden Ratio! Beauty is courage, the defiant fist of a protector fear can't overthrow. Beauty, likewise, is a prince's sworn vow, to defend his city, child, and lady-lover. What beauty is, is the King, who can show Paris forgiveness (for treason discover'd). What beauty is not, is false beauty covered by artifice and soft, insincere light; what beauty is not, is false show uncovered, displayed, and flaunted, wirelessed day and night. What beauty is, ultimately, is your face: which even shames Helen of the Trojan race.
