For she is a ordsprog

en For she is a fair maiden, fairest lady of a house of queens. And yet I know not how I should speak of her. When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely as a lily, and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wrights out of steel. Or was it, maybe, a frost that had turned its sap to ice, and so it stood, bitter-sweet, still fair to see, but stricken, soon to fall and die?
  J.R.R. Tolkien

en Have you seen but a bright lily grow, / Before rude hands have touched it? / Have you marked but the fall o' the snow / Before the soil hath smutched it? . . . O so white! O so soft! O so sweet is she!
  Ben Jonson

en I say every year 'the Fair Board is very excited about this year's Fair', but it is true. We really are excited about every Fair.

en MAIDEN, n. A young person of the unfair sex addicted to clewless conduct and views that madden to crime.
