Not true. It implies that they decrease in “beautifulness” as you progress down the line, with the least beautiful at the end.

Usually people say “each more beautiful than the last”, which implies that the get more beautiful as you go down the line.

“But only if you line them up that way”, as Johnny Hart had someone say in The Wizard of Id.

Besides, you can’t have infinite beauty. Eventually yo have to reach a stauration point.
