Prolagus commented on the word dazzling
'Have you ever imagined what it must feel like to be divinely beautiful?'
'Well now, no, I haven't,' confessed Matthew ingenuously.
'I have, often. Which would you rather be if you had the choice - divinely beautiful or dazzlingly clever or angelically good?'
(Anne of Green Gables, by L.M. Montgomery)
