I lay in bed in my #tiara & #rubyredlips as my #braintumour gnaws through my blood Don't mistake my #stoicism for #bravery ⚜️I am not a soldier for a cause I am a crusader for #eccentricity & certain of nothing but doubt ⚜️It is those who feel so #selfrighteous that chill my blood & hang my hopes out on the #TyburnGallows - to be #hungdrawnandquartered by the baying #selfrioughtios #mob They #scaremetodeath All those who feel so entitled to judge me or others & those who possess the moral rectitude to define vice & virtue ⚜️You who audaciously condemn that which you do not understand scare me to death For judgement is a dangerous game of #immoral #Russianroulette & rigid morality - the starting gate of all the blood ever spilled through time Doubt is the backbone of art #Questions the palette of #theartist #Ideas the ink of the #scribe It is the #eccentrics & the #pleasureseekers who safeguard society It is the #sartorial #subversive - the #dandy in his splendid cape spun of all the times he’s been asked to leave the hotel for looking too flamboyant #Artists hold the front line - The #artisans #poets #musicians the woman in a #featherplumed #hat the man in the #bustle who are first to face the #exectutioners wall when the #fanatics ride to war So yes, the #political & #religious #zealots scare me to death And my only recourse is to #celebrate #beauty #art &pleasure With a #finebonechina #cupoftea or #Bohemian cutcrystal #saucerofchampagne I find my strength in #celebrating all the #eccentrics who came before Remember this; whether penning a #poem - painting your face - choosing a natty cravat or buying a work of art - you're walking in the #frontline Because it is as much your doubts & fragility as your love of art & pleasure that ensures You are the zealots threat ⚜️📜🥂🍾⚜️ (at Mayfair) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpmkSMYH4fy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vwkytxw2yo3d
