Paragraph: 1. Which, in your opinion, is of more value in a human being- the inner beauty or the outer

appearance? / What does the poet of ‘beautiful inside’ say about ‘inner beauty’? / According to Paul Holmes what is ‘inner beauty’? (April-2014) What message does the poet give us through a geode?(QY-2013)

Poem : Beautiful Inside Poet : Paul Holmes Theme: Appearances are deceptive

The inner beauty is more important than the outer appearance. We cannot judge a person by mere appearance. The proverb ‘appearances are deceptive’ insists this. Generally, we see only the outer appearance. We can’t perceive the inner beauty. We can enjoy the glittering crystals of a geode, when it is split by water. Like this we can enjoy the inner beauty, when it reveals. If we keenly observe the modest and simple persons around us, we will find a lot of virtues in them. Their beautiful and benevolent heart is a priceless treasure to cherish. Thus virtues reveal inner beauty which is very valuable.

Outside of a Geode

Crack appears

Beautiful inside

Simple but…..
