In 'real life' it is also true that after some time good people look much beautiful than bad people, or at least, that's my personal experience. At first sight I only notice the outer appearance, but with time, the personality and behaviour of a person (his 'soul') make me often change my first opinion.

Elves are able of seeing the inner thoughts of people (remember Galadriel) much faster than we are; and probably they can distinguish this 'inner beauty' at first sight [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

On the other hand, do you think that Fangorn forest was 'beautiful' according to standards? Yet Legolas loved it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
