Isabella of Castile
So humble a visage:
amongst reverent murmurs
the Catholic Queen Isabella rides.How appropriate:
her face a font of grace,
pliant nose a sheer peak,
a razor’s edge of Pyreenic granite coated in cold frosts.Dash on!

To forge a Kingdom as magnificent
as the mountains inherent in her blood.
