In the rose world, polyantha roses are prone to producing sports.

Fig.133 Pointing Lady

12 Jun 2023 48
A counter point to the gesturing androgynous angels and saints is a poetic and sweet drawing known as the ‘Pointing Lady’ (fig. 133), which the renowned scholar Carlo Pedretti called “perhaps the most beautiful drawing by Leonardo.” the subject has same mysterious and enticing smile as her male counterparts, and she likewise is looking directly at us, directing our attention to a mystery unseen. But unlike Leonardo’s various angels of the period, there is nothing devilish about her. ~ Page 473 (Excerpt “Leonardo De Vinci” Author Walter Isaacson

What would the world be, once bereft Of wet and wildness? Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet, Long live the weeds and the wildness yet. Gerard Manley Hopkins

Red, Red Rose

O my Luve's like a red, red rose, That's newly sprung in June: O my Luve's like the melodie, That's sweetly play'd in tune. As fair art thou, my bonie lass, So deep in luve am I; And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry. .............................. ~ Robert Burns
