...and for but an instant in time, she will be the woman, and she is the 
goddess as she pleases, or the god, and she is all else that is high, or 
low, or even obscene as her fancy takes her, she falls never below the 
greatness that is all creation, and all delight in her own abundant 
variety.  She is delicious, aloof, quaint, lovely, greedy and most 
disturbing.  The artist's vain efforts can but capture only a brief 
fleeting instance of the woman.

And to answer the question, I've lived just long enough to know better 
than to tell a woman how she should feel.  :)
