The Head of Kay's 1928
-
Her head was hooded in a dark handkerchief; I could see her thin hands clasped together -- on the altar-rail; even as I realised these things about her (which, besides her rigid, unprayerful pose, were all there were to see) I must admit to myself that she bore no resemblance to my lady.
The Fool Errant Maurice Hewlett 1892
