R.I.P. Raquel

Beauty Fades

by Theocritus


The rose is beauteous, but time causes it to fade;
The violet is fair in spring,
And quickly grows out of date;
The lily is white, fading when it droops;
The snow is white, melting at the very time when it is congealed,
And beautiful is the bloom of youth,
But it lasts only for a short time.

As I've said many times; I never saw a bad photograph of Raquel Welch. One of the most beautiful women in history, and I will never doubt that she wasn't a beautiful person in life. My deepest condolences to her family, friends, and fans. God bless her.
