"Pimply was he, with eyes swollen and narrow.
Hot he was and lecherous as a sparrow,
With scabbed black brows; his beard had lost some hair.
And of his visage, children were quite scared.
[. . . ] No single ointment that would cleanse or bite—
Could help him to remove those pustules white,
Nor cure the pimples sitting on his cheeks."

Canterbury Tales, Chaucer

"Sappho had a beautiful body and face and was agreeable and pleasant in appearance, conduct and speech. But the charm of her profound understanding surpassed all the other charms with which she was endowed, for she was expert and learned in several arts and sciences . . . "

Cristine de Pizan, The Book of the City of Ladies

"I AM THE WAY INTO THE CITY OF WOE.
I AM THE WAY TO A FORSAKEN PEOPLE.
I AM THE WAY INTO ETERNAL SORROW.
SACRED JUSTICE MOVED MY ARCHITECT.
I WAS RAISED HERE BY DIVINE OMNIPOTENCE,
PRIMORDIAL LOVE AND ULTIMATE INTELLECT.
ONLY THOSE ELEMENTS TIME CANNOT WEAR
WERE MADE BEFORE ME, AND BEYOND TIME I STAND.
ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE"

Divine Comedy, Dante
