Literary notes about beauteous (AI summary)

The word "beauteous" is often used in literature as a lofty, almost otherworldly descriptor that enhances both natural landscapes and human qualities. It graces epic appeals and addresses, bestowing an air of refined admiration when a character is invoked with a cherished radiance, such as in appeals to a loved one’s divine charm ([1], [2]). It also decorates vivid depictions of nature, capturing the transcendent allure of sprawling plains and celestial vistas ([3], [4]).

Overall, "beauteous" carries a timeless poetic charm that enriches narrative expression across diverse cultural and historical settings ([7], [8]).
