Description "Could you describe her? What do you see when you see her that other people don't?"

"Well, I can't describe her as a movie star, because she doesn't act. I can't say that she looks like Emma Stone but with a slightly different haircut or like Zooey Deschanel but with more beautiful eyes. I can't describe her as any other girl I've seen, because she is not like any other girl I've ever seen, truly. What I can describe her as, though, is akin to an inventor. There was a point when most homes in America did not have electricity. Oh sure, if you were rich you could afford it, but what hope did that give to the common man? None, as you can see in history. The common man had to write by candlelight. The common man had to plow their fields by hand instead of with power tools. The common man could not work long hours in the winter, for they would get such little precious daylight. She is the thrilling sensation of the first time a man sees light. She is the moment when Plato's Cave is escaped from, and the whole world just opens up. Being with her is like being able to throw out my candles in favor of a spotlight, a spotlight that never dies. Being with her gives me the ability to plow my fields a hundred times over in a single day, when before I could not do it once. With her, I could write an excellent novel in a day. My pen would not stop writing if I had her support, because I would have all the light that I had been deprived of my whole life in that one day. That is the only way I can think of to describe her."
