Catullus 86

In this poem, Catullus again compares another woman to Lesbia. He admits that this woman, Quintia, has many beautiful qualities, but won't admit that as a whole she is beautiful. He does not find Quintia attractive because she does not have any charm. Lesbia, in addition to being so beautiful, is the most charming woman, he says.

Therefore, I can infer that charm and inner beauty is more important to Catullus than looks in general. He provides evidence that Quintia is extremely beautiful and wealthy, but still does not feel she lives up to Lesbia because she lacks charm. While the rest of the city swoons over Quintia, Catullus finds a more true love in Lesbia because she has so much more than superficial beauty.
