In Persian poetry a certain characteristic called Shukhi is given to the beloved woman. The charm which the Persian poet describes by Shukhi is more usually found in woman than in man, although it is possible that many women would consider it a characteristic of the men whom they love. This character of the beloved can scarcely be called beautiful, although it is alluring. Its chief property is heedlessness, or a kind of careless independence that is touched with insolence.
