virgin of the rocks

virgin of the rocks
The Three Ages of Woman
The Virgin and Child with St Anne
The Water lily Pond
Venus and Cupid
You are getting tired, Sue. Oh--I forgot, darling! Yes, we'll go on at once." ¡¡¡¡ They started in quest of the lodging, and at last found something that seemed to promise well, in Mildew Lane--a spot which to Jude was irresistible--though to Sue it was not so fascinating--a narrow lane close to the back of a college, but having no communication with it. The little houses were darkened to gloom by the high collegiate buildings, within which life was so far removed from that of the people in the lane as if it had been on opposite sides of the globe; yet only a thickness of wall divided them. Two or three of the houses had notices of rooms to let, and the newcomers knocked at the door of one, which a woman opened. ¡¡¡¡ "Ah--listen!" said Jude suddenly, instead of addressing her. ¡¡¡¡ "What?" ¡¡¡¡ "Why the bells--what church can that be? The tones are familiar." ¡¡¡¡ Another peal of bells had begun to sound out at some distance off.
