Moderators kimi Posted December 3, 2016 Moderators Share Posted December 3, 2016 I have spent some great amount of time indeed reading through a number of his letters -mostly extracts I think and this has by far been my favourite. “The Love that dare not speak its name” in this century is such a great affection of an elder for a younger man as there was between David and Jonathan. […] It is that deep, spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect. […] It is in this century misunderstood, so much misunderstood that it may be described as the “Love that dare not speak its name,” and on account of it I am placed where I am now. It is beautiful, it is fine, it is the noblest form of affection. There is nothing unnatural about it. It is intellectual, and it repeatedly exists between an elder and a younger man, when the elder man has intellect, and the young man has all the joy, hope and glamour of life before him. That it should be so the world does not understand. The world mocks it and sometimes puts one in the pillory for it What a tragic end to such a wonderfully talented man. Nonetheless, his works outlive him... a consolation of sorts perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
