*God does not love a person for his or her outer appearance but the person himself*

(2). He does not love her external beauty but was in love with her soul. The human beings are incapable of loving a soul of a person. The question is asked from the story For Anne Gregory which is written by the story writer W. B. Yeats.

Answer 2

God doesn't love people for their outer appearance, rather for the person they are on the inside

• In the poem, For Anne Gregory, written by William Butler Yeats, the poet tries to tell his readers about the fickle nature of man and the contrasting, everlasting love of God.
• He portrays how men fall in love with the outer beauty of women, in this case, the yellow hair of the young woman in question. The poet portrays the inner feelings of the young woman, who understands that men only admire her for her beautiful golden locks, which if she were to dye in a different color, would make them despair and lose interest in her.
• The poet mentions that only God is capable of loving a person for who they are, despite their outer appearances, ugly or beautiful. All creatures are loved equally by God and God alone.
• The poet draws a contrast between the fickle nature of man, whose love is shallow and based on the outer beauty of a woman, rather than her inner beauty, while God's love does not depend on outer appearances, and is equal for all creatures.
