Biological Reflection

Biological Reflection - meaning Summary

Painted Cheeks Preferred

This two-line epigram states a speaker’s humorous preference for a girl who wears makeup over one who does not. In plain terms it treats cosmetic artifice as an appealing advantage, playfully reducing romantic or aesthetic judgment to a simple, witty rule. The poem’s compact, comic assertion invites readers to notice how appearance and social attitudes toward beautification shape attraction and taste.
