Excerpt from The Perfect Gentleman
Not in any manner dependent or servile, either on persons, or opinions, or pos sessions.' Walter Pater, had Leonardo painted a Perfect Gentleman's portrait instead of a Perfect Lady's, might have described the other: 'the presence that thus rose so strangely beside the tea table is expressive of what in the ways of a thousand years women had come to desire. His is the head upon which all the ends of the world have come.
