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
:33:00
of an elder...
for a younger man

:33:03
as there was between
David and Jonathan.

:33:06
Such as Plato made the very
basis of his philosophy

:33:10
and such as you may find
:33:12
in the sonnets of
Michelangelo... and Shakespeare.

:33:18
It is in this century
misunderstood.

:33:23
So much misunderstood
:33:24
that it may be described as,
:33:26
"the love that dare not
speak its name".

:33:29
And on account of it,
I am placed where I am now.

:33:34
It is beautiful.
:33:36
It is fine.
:33:37
It is the noblest
form of affection.

:33:42
There is nothing
unnatural about it.

:33:46
It is intellectual
:33:48
and it repeatedly exists
:33:50
between an elder
and a younger man,

:33:53
when the elder has intellect
:33:56
and the younger man...
:33:59
has all the joy, hope,
