Goodbye, Mr Harris.
:45:07
Goodbye, sir.
:45:08
Goodbye, Mr Snow.
Thank you.

:45:14
Oscar.
:45:15
My dear Sphinx!
:45:19
How marvellous of you
to know what hat to wear

:45:22
at seven in the morning
:45:23
to meet a friend
who's been away.

:45:25
No, I'll keep this.
:45:27
What is it?
:45:28
It's a letter to Bosie,
:45:30
telling him how I love him
:45:31
but can never see him again.
:45:33
I'm going to ask Robbie
to have it copied out

:45:36
before I send it.
:45:37
I rather fear Bosie
might throw it on the fire.

:45:40
I call it De Profundis.
:45:42
It comes from the very depths.
:46:17
I know not
whether laws be right

:46:20
Or whether laws be wrong
:46:22
All that we know who lie in gaol
:46:24
Is that the wall is strong
:46:26
And that each day is like a year
:46:29
A year whose days are long
:46:36
Yet each man kills
the thing he loves

:46:39
By each, let this be heard
:46:41
Some do it with a bitter look
:46:44
Some with a flattering word
:46:47
The coward does it with a kiss
:46:49
The brave man with a sword
:46:54
Some kill their love
when they are young

:46:57
And some when they are old
:46:59
Some strangle
with the hands of lust
