Christina Schmidt Gallery Five
- Her face was best, in highest measure,
- For truly, Nature took such pleasure
- To make it lovely that she might
- Be the ideal of beauty bright…
- No hollows showing, collar-bone,
- To all appearance, had she none…
- Most lovely shoulders, body long
- And arms, like every limb, God knows
- Well clothed with flesh…
- -Chaucer, The Book of the Duchess (1369–70).
