Edward Lear, Porto Tre Scoglie, Albania (1862)
Always thinking about Edward Lear. Fascinating man. Painted parrots. Popularized the limerick. Epileptic and almost definitely queer by modern standards. Loved his tabby cat and it was rumoured that he had a perfect copy of his house built when he moved to Sanremo so the cat wouldn’t be confused. He drew himself like this.
He wrote The Owl and the Pussycat and a poem where he described himself as “ill-tempered and queer,” and “perfectly spherical.” I feel like I’ve met several men like this in my life.
Formally named Aderphos, Foss was the pet cat of Edward Lear, 19th-century author, artist, illustrator and poet. ca 1892
Foss depicted by Lear in an 1879 letter.

Edward Lear's Parrots
In the late summer of 1832, England was set aflame with wonder — a glimpse of something wild and flamboyant, shimmering with the lush firstn
Every artist’s art is their coping mechanism for being alive. Birds were not just an aesthetic passion for Edward Lear. “A deep black bitter melancholy destroys me,” he wrote in his journal. He painted what he saw in order to keep looking out. All melancholy is a stranglehold of selfing. All joy is a surrender to something larger than oneself. In nature, in wildness, Lear came unselved, so that he could gasp in his journal after a day of walking in the forest and sketching: “Is it not wonderful to be alive?”
