Joseph Epstein takes on that most enchanting (and, alas,
increasingly rare) of human gifts, charm. "Almost everyone will
recognize when he or she is in the presence of charm," he writes.
"Charm is magic of a kind; it casts a spell. In the presence of
charm the world seems lighter and lovelier. A charming person can
cause you to forget your problems, at least temporarily, to hold
the world's dreariness at bay. Charm is a reminder that the world
is filled with jolly prospects and delightful possibilities.
Watching Fred Astaire dance, or listening to Blossom Dearie sing,
or reading the poems of C.P. Cavafy, or merely looking at Rita
Hayworth or Ava Gardner, one recalls that the world can be a pretty
damn fine place."
