What about this?
"Of all the lillies of all the earth's rich fields, you are the finest."
[I know "finest" idiomatically would answer to something other than literal, as "fine" often connotes something other than an exact equivalent to such uses of the word as above.]

Thank you. I was just wondering, though, if someone was to translate this back into English, how would it most likely be rendered in the translation?
Not to bother you, George, but if the original English line were modified to :
"Your graces are greater than all the graces of all the lillies of all the earth's rich fields."

Pax et Gratia

The literal translation back to English would probably be:
You are greater than all the lilies in all the rich fields of the earth.
I say "probably" because most translation involves interpretation.

In trying to work out variants of expression of a single thought in Latin, I am wondering what grammatical inaccuracies I may have produced with this following sentence:
Maxima in elegantia ex [omnibus] lilia/liliis in omnibus agris copiosis terrae es.
Because I am not sure which case lilium must here be in, as a class out of which one is presented as the best, I not only may have paired two wrong case forms for that word, but I also was notsure, then, to what form omne here must accordingly conform.
I find that by changing one original sentence at a point where a diferrent syntactical form can be inserted, I get a better idea of certain grammatical possibilities.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
