Suzanne Duchamp, French Dadaist painter.

"Memoriter

Ovals of opal on dislustred seas,
Skyshine, and all that indolent afternoon
No clash of arms, no shouting on the breeze;
Only the reeds moaned soft or high their empty rune.

The paladins played chess and did not care,
The crocus pierced the turf with random dart.
Then twanged a cord. Through space, from Oultremer
That other arrow veered toward your heart."

--Charles Spear

"I wander from ruins to village with my crystal monocle and an unsettling theory of painting."

-- Jacques Vache, as quoted by Raoul Vaneigem via @alinaetc.bsky.social

"...a lot of people on the right who think that queer-positive multi-ethnic feminist America hates them and poses a threat to them do not for the most part believe that because of what we do and say. They believe it because their news media, chief propagandists, and elected officials have had them on an IV drip of these ideas for decades."
