ladies of Christendom

For the ladies of Christendom other ideas are requisite ; living life holy affections ; lovely ladies, whose skirts embroidered with heraldic badges ; whose hands pale and delicate ; these living madonnas, proud as lilies, who came back from dark, with Books of Hours under their arms and rosaries at their girdles, remove a veil broidered with gold or silver and give it as a scarf to thy knight kneeling before ye, praying to them and dreaming of God. Let us forget Eve and her errors ; they are forgiven a thousand times, and are more than atoned for by this ineffable grace of the noble daughters of Mary.
