The most beautiful subtlety of women lies in the edges of their imperfection, so does everything else related to aesthetics.
A man aching for another half, if not in pursuit of an idolized one, would have her soon degraded to merely carnal companion that no longer holds its former worth. As is often the case, male take the flesh of a woman as the physical framework of his idolization, and fill it with his aesthetic ideals, covering qualities of virginity, chastity, honesty, simplicity, delicacy or even motherhood. Usually a female ideal like this serves as both a sensual and spiritual idol, which embodies Nu Wa and Avalokitesvara in traditional Chinese context.? Artists especially take advantage of such aesthetic method, drawing or carving their sexual idol to have it specified. Yet the beauty is realized not in the final, actual and living woman, but within that unattainable, mysterious and incredibly thin vein of unreality.
