“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau
.
And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Ah...the sleeping goddess. My Venus is even more beautiful.
So was the Rokeby Venus (below). But I'm sure that yours has the advantage of not beinga mere painting. ;)
Happy Christmas, Elbro!
..and give your Mona Lisa my best! :)
