LEONARDO DA VINCI'S CANON FOR PROPORTIONS OF HUMAN HEAD Though Divinity seems so far removed, Its image in man remains as a witness before men. In no part of Nature is the evidence of a supreme intelligence more conclusive than in the refinement and the symmetry of human proportions. To the chemist, the human body is a laboratory; to the jurist, the embodiment of abiding law; to the musician, a summary of all symphonies; to the mathematician, crystallized geometry; to the poet, rhythm in action; to the theologian, the living temple of the living God; to the physician, the garment of life; to the architect, the trestleboard of design; to the scientist, the unsolvable enigma; to the philosopher, the image of eternal verities; to the statesman, the pattern of the commonwealth. Is ' it amazing, then, that the artist should delight in portraying the ever-changing moods of man: or that the architect, consciously or unconsciously, should build man's proportions into the structure he uprears?
