examples: A beautiful example of this type of Madonna is the polyptych in the Museo Civico in Sansepolcro.
So many Madonnas were produced during the Renaissance that it became the habit to distinguish them by any peculiarity.
gloss: A morally pure woman.
pos: noun
examples: “Men,” I said, with a tone of disgust. “Halal circles, haram circles, good, bad, Madonnas, whores, goats, penises, it’s all the same.”
[…] the mothers who, like Sebastian’s mother in Notorious or Mitch’s mother Lydia in The Birds, block such a transference, or by potential love-objects who are, themselves, Madonnas, whores, or otherwise thinly disguised maternal figures.
The Madonnas are the mothers to our children, the pillars of our families, and the goddesses of our communities. The Madonnas shun the dark side of human sexuality and banish the whores to hell. We put the Madonnas on a pedestal, and we can’t think of them as being sexual or sexy because they must be pure. They must be virginal like the Madonna herself.
Sparing no one in her response to her interviewer’s questions about the ERA, she alludes to divisions within the women’s movement, referring to the factions as “Madonnas, whores, housewives, and lesbians.”
In sexual politics the view of women as either Madonnas or whores limits women’s sexual expression, offering two mutually exclusive ways to construct a sexual identity.

Love, in fact, having in this modern world-movement been denied, and its natural manifestations affected with a sense of guilt and of sin, has really languished and ceased to play its natural part in life; and a vast number of people - both men and women, finding themselves barred or derailed from the main object of existence, have turned their energies to 'business' or 'money-making' or 'social advancement' or something equally futile, as the only poor substitute and pis aller open to them.

A woman's love is essentially lonely and spiritual in its nature—feeding on fancy, rather than hope—or like that fairy flower of the East, which floats in, and lives upon, the air. Her attachment is the heathenism of the heart: she has herself created the glory and beauty with which the idol of her altar stands invested.
Meanwhile the Christian Church from these speculations has kept itself severely apart - as of course representing a unique and divine revelation little concerned or interested in such heathenisms[.]
[…] they urge all followers of the Prophet to return to an authentic Islam, devoid of heathenism and innovations.

Since the term 'imagination,' absolutely in a grammatical sense, means a certain, definite idea, that is, an affection of the mind, representative or implying a representation, in the same way I acknowledge that nothing physical, or even in any sense moral, could be conceived by the mind, or could be understood precisely, if not by means of a figurable example: and not only, as they say in the schools, concretely, but especially individually: for at the lowest degree, this can be done vaguely and even fictitiously by an arbitrary representation, which is nevertheless figuarable or imaginable.
