The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name

"'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, such as Plato made the very basis of his philosophy, and such as you find in the sonnets of Michelangelo and Shakespeare. It is that deep, spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect. It dictates and pervades great works of art like those of Shakespeare and Michelangelo, and those two letters of mine, such as they are. 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 younger 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 at it and sometimes puts one in the pillory for it."

-Oscar Wilde, on trial for "gross indecency" (homosexuality)

You are?????? That's AMAZING!

My advice is to listen to podcasts through ITunes. Those are the best if you can't attend for some reason.
And yeah, there is a Church near me. I haven't been able to start going yet, though.
mayday22 Report | 08/04/2009 6:31 pm: You may have noticed the Unitarian Universalist symbol on my profile.
I happen to be one.
mayday22 Report | 08/02/2009 7:08 pm: Thank-you! It's another cheap one, but I figured I needed a change, and cost really doesn't matter.

Also, is the scientist Joeseph Priestly, by any chance? It's the only Priestly I know of off the top of my head.
