strange beauty

Sometimes, after someone has undergone an experience of tremendous sadness, he/she will look very beautiful afterwards.

I saw a girl once at a party who had just broken up with her fiancee. When you spoke to her, she said she was in great pain and didn't even want to be there. But to look at her! Her hair seemed more beautiful, her eyes sparkled, her whole being seemed 100 times more radiant...but of all of this, she was completely unaware. And when you told her, she didn't believe it.
