The Beauty of the Queen

Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve, "Brief Mention," American Journal of Philology 23.2 (1902) 231-235 (at 231):
He who wishes to see the beauty of the Queen we call Language must stand where Gyges stood and gaze as Gyges gazed.
See here for the shocking story of Gyges and the Queen (wife of Candaules).
