"I used to know Brian Howard well—a dazzling young man to my innocent eyes. In later life he became very dangerous—constantly attacking people with his fists in public places—so I kept clear of him. He was consumptive but the immediate cause of his death was a broken heart." Evelyn Waugh.

Wonder IF Evelyn appreciated the homophobic shit Brian likely took everywhere he went, and as Brian got older, he just threw hands instead of putting up with it. #gay #gayhistory #evelynwaugh #brianhoward
