There are numerous forms of psychological ugliness. There is an ugliness of stupidity, for example, of anawareness (distressingly common among pretty women). An ugliness also of greed, of lasciviousness ( strong sexual desires), of avarice (extreme desire for wealth). All the deadly sins, indeed, have their own peculiar negation of beauty. On the pretty faces of those especially who are trying to have a continuous good time, one sees very often a kind of bored sullenness (bad temper) that ruins all their charm. I remember in particular two young American girls I once met in North Africa. From the porcelain specialist's point of view, they were beautiful. But the sullen boredom of which I have spoken was so deeply stamped into their fresh faches, their gait (way of walking) and gestures so weary (tired or fatigued) a listlessness (weakness and slowness) that it was unbearable to look at them. These exquisite (extremely beautiful) creatures were positively repulsive (definitely horrible to look at).
