In the book "Silver Woven In My Hair" by Shirley Rousseau Murphy, a conversation unfolds between characters Gillie and another person. Gillie offers the recipient the king's bread and the famed magical goat milk, which is reputed to have transformative properties. The recipient, curious about the milk's potential, asks whether it will enhance their beauty.

Gillie reassures the individual that it cannot make them beautiful because they are already beautiful in their own right. This exchange highlights themes of self-acceptance and the idea that true beauty stems from within, rather than relying on external enhancements.
