First Fig
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light!
Divine decadence...
CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."

DeleteThat's lovely. Read it before, but had forgotten. And the illustration! Adore Art Deco. Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely weekend. Kizzes.

DeleteUn homme conservateur avec une femme tres liberale. Elle fume, elle boit, elle conduira la Bugatti et lui dira parfois d'aller au diable ! Elle des scenes lors des fetes de leurs riches amis et traine aves des domestiques pour s'amuser et au fond de lui, il l'aime pour cela. Ils sont comme mes grands-parents quand ils vivaient en France et sont venus a Montreal pendant la guerre. Grand-pere etait rigide, grand-mere etait sauvage. *d'Anjou
