Perfect womanhood at fair eighteen: let that fill all the picture up with soft and swelling charms; no wadding, or padding, or jigot, or jupe -- but all those graceful undulations are herself: no pearl-powder, no carmine, no borrowed locks, no musk, or ambergris -- but all those feeble helps of meretricious art excelled and superseded by their just originals in nature.
