Description [ Marilyn Manson - Coma White ]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

this photoshoot was inspired by a poem written by one of my favourite poets ever: Charles Baudelaire. [ i seriuosly advise you 'Les Fleurs du Mal' read it! ]

La Beauté

Je suis belle, ô mortels! Comme un rêve de pierre,
Et mon sein, où chaucun s'est meurtri tour à tour,
Est fait pour inspirer au poète un amour
Eternel et muet ainsi que la matière.

Je trône dans l'azur comme un sphinx incompris ;
J'unis un coeur de neige à la blancheur des cygnes ;
Je hais le mouvement qui délace les lignes,
Et jamais je ne pleure et jamais je ne ris

Les poètes, devant mes grandes attitudes, Que j'ai l'air d'emprunter aux plus fiers monuments,
Consumeront leurs jours en d'austères études ;

Car j'ai, pour fasciner ces dociles amants,
De purs miroirs qui font toutes choses plus belles :
Mes yeux, mes larges yeux aux clartés éternelles !


ENGLISH
Fair am I, mortals, as a stone-carved dream,
And all men wound themselves against my breast,
the poet's last desire, the loveliest.
Voiceless, eternal as the world I seem.
In the blue air, strange sphinx, I brood supreme
With heart of snow wither than swan's white crest,
No movement mars the plastic line - I rest
With lips untaught to laugh or eyes to stream.

Singers who see, in trancèd interludes,
My splendour set with all superb design,
Consume their days, in toiful ecstasy.
To these reaveled, the starry amplitudes
Of my great eyes which make all things divine
Are crystal mirrors of eternity
.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

i dont wanna represent myself as the symbol of Beauty..in this poem the Beauty is represented as a perverse & icy goddess.
Baudelaire's idea of beauty ( i perfectly agree with his vision) as nothing to do with moral perfection, serenity or psychological balance...this poem's protagonist is an unnerving figure...icy & elusive. she has on her devouts a deadly fascination.
she arouses a desire of death & self-destruction in whoever loves her. . .


all i wish is that this cold & icy goddess will help me to be stronger.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

i want to extremely thank my Red Queen for her wonderful help
& for being who she is for me. . . thank you.
i love you so much <3

& i also thank Hate Key! <3

& MOSH GIRL >D
