“please don’t paint me flawless
I am not a portrait
I am a graffiti mural
tagged on the side of an abandoned freight train
dazzling but unexpected
found in a place
most people never think to look
either you will search and marvel
at your discovery
pass by me without notice
continuing to believe that art
can only be found in museums
or places
or people
that are guarded
expensive
and immaculate.” –

“Be wicked, be brave, be drunk, be reckless, be dissolute, be despotic, be a suffragette, be anything you like, but for pity’s sake be it to the top of your bent.”
– Violet Trefusis in a letter to Vita Sackville-West (via letters-to-nobody)
