the phrase “he’s one of those patrician queers” was just spoken in the novel I’m reading (which is, in fact, The Hellfire Club by Peter Straub) and like, it’s definitely meant as a slur/insult but also
shit that does describe some certain folks huh

Brennus’ Gaul pulling Marcus Papirius’ beard
by Giuseppe Sciuti
The painting depicts an episode that happened during the Sack of Rome (387 B.C.) made by the Senones (a Celts tribe) guided by the chieftain Brennus, as reported by Titus Livius in the fifth volume of his monumental book on the History of Rome called “Ab Urbe Condita”. According to Livius the invaders, once they entered downtown, remained surprised by the patricians, that were standing still on their chairs, and one of them pulled the beard of Marcus Papirius to understand if he was alive or not; he suddenly reacted, beating the enemy on the head with his ivory sceptre, causing the anger of the Barbarians that killed them all and started the destruction of Rome.
On the right of the scene we can see a sanctuary, probably the Temple of Mars Ultor, founded by the Emperor Augustus in the Forum Augustus and that, according to the Roman historian Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, it was the place where the senators deliberated about battles and triumphs. In front of the temple, in the group of senators, stays Marcus Papirius, recognisable for his long beard, while the Gaul is displayed in front of him, lifting his arm in order to get closer to the senator’s face. On the left, instead, there is the parade of Celts in which we can identify Brennus.

The Patrician
How does he do it?
--+--
He’s old.
Scrape on his head.
White hair thinning badly.
Slightly stooped.
Age spots.
--+--
Standing in the United terminal
Waiting for a flight
Chatting quietly about golf with a stranger
With the rest of us schlubs.
--+--
But the hair is immaculately cut.
His quarter zip also white and pristine.
A logo I’ve never seen.
The blue plaid shirt beneath fits perfectly and
Exactly complements the
Well-made
Fitted trousers (not pants) and belt.
--+--
His footwear is just comfortable sneakers,
But also an unknown brand
and not
Typical old guy NBs.
--+--
He just looks rich.
--+--
And confident.
--+--
And when I finally board,
I’m not surprised to see him
Sitting in first class.
