Above you can see the Peacock on a Platter, or Robert de Montesquiou posing as the severed head of John the Baptist and flanked by relevant lines of his own poetry. But there’s a better version of the poetry, as you can see by comparing the photo with this:
J’aime le jade,
Couleur des yeux
D’HérodiadeEt l’améthyste,
Couleur du sang
De Jean-Baptiste. — from “Robert de Montesquiou: The Magnificent Dandy” (1962) by Cornelia Otis Skinner
I love jade,
Color of the eyes
Of HerodiasAnd amethyst,
Color of the blood
Of John the Baptist.
