Ellis, Havelock, 1859-1939

"Sexual Selection In Man"

The nose,
symmetrical and of medium size, descends perpendicularly from
between the eyebrows. The little valley separating the nose from
the upper lip is divinely proportioned. The mouth, inclined to be
rather small, is always stirred by a sweet smile; the rather
thick lips are made of honey and coral. The teeth are small,
polished as ivory, and symmetrically ranged, and the breath has
the odor of the sweetest perfumes. Her voice is that of a
goddess. The chin is divided by a dimple; the whole face
approximates to a virile rotundity. The straight long neck, white
and full, rises gracefully from the shoulders. On the ample
bosom, revealing no indication of the bones, arise the rounded
breasts, of equal and fitting size, and exhaling the perfume of
the peaches they resemble. The rather plump hands, on the back
like snow, on the palm like ivory, are exactly the length of the
face; the full and rounded fingers are long and terminating in
round, curved nails of soft color. The chest as a whole has the
form of a pear, reversed, but a little compressed, and the base
attached to the neck in a delightfully well-proportioned manner.
