The passage of time has aided the hand of the
artist to create a radiant masterpiece. Though
surely its graceful lines and elegant proportions
made it attractive to the age that crafted it, the
centuries have added a moonlit iridescence and
an unseen, but deeply-felt glow of rarity, that
are integral parts of its beauty. In our own age--
long after it was first made--it seems perfect at
last.
