Looking around me I see the bigger pictures. And I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.

The said phrase was first written by Margaret Wolfe Hungerford, who penned the line "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
in her 1878 novel titled Molly Bawn.
Though some without much proof said that it was Shakespeare. This is those of the "if in doubt, quote shakespeare" school of thought!
Keats wrote the phrase " A thing of beauty is a joy forever" from his epic poem, Endymion, 1818:
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
For me a continuation after " joy forever" is " alas, beauty is only skin deep"
