Thank you very much for your compliments, and again for donating me this beautiful verse and for appreciating that my Martha deserves it (while her screen counterpart, sadly, doesn't).
"your Martha (unlike the canonical model)" There's an (I suspect) unintended pun in what you wrote: the search for and classification of canonical models is one of the big, consistent themes of the last century of research in algebraic geometry, with first results going back to the Italian School in the 1920s, and the most recent results...well, ongoing. If I had sent her to do Algebraic Geometry instead of Algebraic Topology, Martha may well be studying canonical models now :-).
