Toulouse-Lautrec
Painting by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec


Toulouse-Lautrec

Henri de, you old rapscallion,
deformed and bent, and yet unbroken,
you delved for companionship
in the decadence of a Paris abandoned
to the tawdry delights of hedonism,
found friendship, beauty, comfort
for your genius to render bright.

Your voice rips through our prejudice.
