that marvelous and deformed comeliness, that comely deformity?...So many and so marvelous are the varie3es of divers shapes on every hand that we are more tempted to read in the marble than in our books, and spend the whole day in wondering at these things than in medita3ng upon the law of God. For God’s sake, if men are not ashamed of these follies, why at least do they not shrink from the expense?” –Bernard of Clairvaux Historiated Capital with Lions’ Heads, Cloister, Priory Church, Moissac, France, c. 1115.
