Italian term or phrase: fosca sempre è la beltà

Either in Spanish or English.

TransHispania

beauty does never smile...

Explanation:
fosca means dark and can also mean foggy, not clear - I think the poet here wants to represent beauty as something that could also look somehow menacing, or anyway serious...
