:31:00
Change your love.
:31:03
Time's up, my lord.
:31:05
Oscar, never!
:31:06
They never will.
I won't let them.

:31:09
I won't let them!
:31:18
You've been a great deal
:31:20
in the company
of Lord Alfred Douglas?

:31:22
Oh, yes.
:31:24
Did he... read his poems
to you?

:31:27
Yes.
:31:28
So you can perhaps understand
:31:30
that some of his verses
:31:32
um... would not be acceptable
:31:35
to a reader with
an ordinary, balanced mind?

:31:39
I'm not prepared to say.
:31:41
It's a question of taste...
:31:43
temperament...
:31:44
and individuality.
:31:46
I should say that
one man's poetry

:31:48
is another man's poison.
:31:50
Yes, I daresay.
:31:52
But in this poem
by Lord Alfred Douglas,

:31:55
"Two Loves"...
:31:57
there is one love -
true love -

:32:00
which, and I quote,
:32:02
"Fills the hearts
of boy and girl

:32:05
"with mutual flame. "
:32:07
And...
:32:08
there is another.
:32:10
"I am the love...
:32:12
"that dare not speak its name. "
:32:17
Was that poem explained to you?
:32:19
I think it's clear.
:32:21
There's no question
as to what it means?

:32:23
Most certainly not.
:32:25
Is it not clear
that the love described

:32:28
relates to natural
and unnatural love?

:32:32
No.
:32:33
Oh.
:32:36
Then what is "the love
that dare not speak its name"?

:32:52
"The love that dare not
speak its name"

:32:55
in this century...
:32:58
is such a great affection
