Calypso was imperturbable, stern, and as calm as a mountain. She loved to lay on the farthest shelf, bestowing everyone with a look of quintessential disdain. Beside her, one could distinctly feel their own insignificance in the presence of her manul majesty.
But in truth, words fail to capture Calypso: she was so majestically grand, monumental, and inimitably luxurious in her Rubenesque abundance of beauty, texture, and, of course, charisma! An incomparable, beautiful creature!
