We come to love not by finding a perfect person but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye. The poem is rather lengthy, but is an interesting read.
Several illustrations accompany it.
My Beast, by Emma McCandless. She says that it was heavily inspired by Anne Sexton and Robin McKinley. While searching the web for other on-line resources, I have found several poems relating to Beauty and the Beast. I have included them here. I can't promise that they are great works of art, but some of them are very beautiful and are definitely worth a look.
