dress, put on makeup, and then, just before you leave, look in the mirror.
Do you know if you look good? Yes. Do you know whether you're beautiful?
Probably. Do you know if the person you're meeting with will fall in love
with you? No. Poetry somewhat similar.

Great, Fred, great.
Of course, when I look in the mirror and see myself looking so fine, there's
no need to go out. I've fallen in love already. Poetry the same.
