"Soul"

So we have Beauty after all.

An hour ago I saw an exceptionally handsome youth at the local bookstore. Latino with Indian ancestry, I think. Wonderful rich black hair, fine fingers holding a book. I don’t think he was straight either, from his bearing and dress; he was dressed with noticeable fashion sense. I should have said “¡Qué guapo eres!”, but I didn’t have the nerve. Faint heart ne’er won fair youth.

It means “How handsome you are!”

You should have invited him down to the river bank to have a dialog on beauty.

Too late now, as always, and with everything. But in the unlikely event I ever get a chance again, I’ll remember your suggestion.
