Geoffroy Coomans de Brachène and I met some time ago during an exhibition of my "erotico-fantastico-burlesque" paintings in the centre of Brussels, Belgium. Geoffroy is a great friend and a very promising Belgian liberal politician.

The Angel in the House
.
By Coventry Patmore

Ah, wasteful woman, she who may
On her sweet self set her own price,
Knowing man cannot choose but pay,
How has she cheapened paradise;
How given for nought her priceless gift,
How spoiled the bread and spilled the wine,
Which, spent with due respective thrift,
Had made brutes men and men divine.
