Leonardo da Vinci - A Copse of Trees (1502) - Chalk on paper

“Some are without heads, their eyes being in their shoulders.

Some have lower lips so large that they cover the entire face….Some have no tongues, and speak to one another in winks, in the manner of the cloister people….some people have ears so large that they cover the whole body.

Others have very large feet and legs, but no paunches, and are marvelously fleet of foot. In the summertime, while lying on their backs, they protect themselves against the sun by the shade of their feet. 

Some are double-sexed, the right breast male, the left one female. They are indiscriminate in their associations with one another and bear children.”
