Hi, Anton!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

AH>  But whether "Beauty" is seen there as the name of a
AH>  person or "beauty" in the general sense or both, the
AH>  article would still be omitted in English....  :-)

AS>  This observation is most excellently demonstrated in
AS>  Clark Ashton Smith's prose poem "The Demon, the Angel,
AS>  and Beauty":

           I found it very interesting... as, BTW, I did Mark Twain's comments about the German language which you referenced here.  Thank you.  :-)
