"Beauty for some provides escape, who gain a happiness in eyeing the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying"

- Langston Hughes

About this Quote

In this quote, Langston Hughes is highlighting the concept that charm can be subjective and can supply a type of escape for some individuals. He recommends that there are individuals who discover happiness in appreciating things that may not be traditionally considered stunning, such as the butts of an ape or the dying sundowns of autumn. This could be interpreted as a commentary on society's narrow definition of charm and how it can restrict our ability to appreciate the special and non-traditional kinds of charm that exist on the planet. Hughes might likewise be suggesting that discovering appeal in unexpected locations can bring happiness and a sense of flexibility from societal norms.
