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,
:34:01
and glamour of life
before him.

:34:05
That it should be so,
:34:07
the world does not
understand.

:34:10
The world mocks at it
:34:12
and sometimes...
:34:13
puts one in the pillory
for it.

:34:28
Hear, hear!
:34:32
Oscar Wilde,
:34:33
the crime of which
you have been convicted

:34:37
is so bad...
:34:38
that I shall pass
the severest sentence

:34:42
that the law will allow.
:34:45
In my judgement,
:34:46
it is totally inadequate
:34:48
for such a case as this.
:34:51
It is the worst case
:34:53
I have ever tried.
:34:55
The sentence of the court
:34:57
is that you be imprisoned
:34:59
and held to hard labour...
