They must live outside class, without relations or money; they must work, and stick to each other till death. But England belonged to them. That, besides companionship, was their reward. Her air and sky were theirs...

Clive's house got done up at last...

...but they are obviously lacking a good gamekeeper

He can sort out your mole issues no problem

very inconsiderate of e.m. forster to not consider how maurice (by e.m. forster) would affect me emotionally after reading it

How to feel more at home at college...

Maurice should definitely be added to this list. Useful take-homes include:

Lock your door before going in for a steamy kiss with your best friend

You'll likely need to climb in windows so work on upper body strength

Don't be cheeky to the Dean and get sent down the day after you snag a hot new lover

When staying with a college chum's family, it's very impolite to have sex with their employees on the premises

Excellent explanation. Also 'batting for the other side' is oldschool posh English slang for gay, just saying.

Watching the cricket scene in Maurice but you’re gay, not British, just bad at sports or any combination of the above (with a healthy dose of cyberbullying Clive). Based on @weepingwolfswood ‘s comment

I love this series of images, although what Alec would be doing sat bold as you like in Clive's drawing room is anybody's guess

The fine details...

This is perfection. Someone trying to be high class would hold their teacup 'properly'.

If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be.... Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins.... Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty.

Joy is not made to be a crumb.

Fact

...George Merrill touched EM Forster on the bum and that gave him a funny feeling that made him write Maurice

Photo: George with his partner Edward Carpenter

How do you know what you should do

You pay very close attention your body because it doesn’t know how to lie to you, and pay very little attention to your mind because it is lying to you all the time

Remake Maurice, but with a sassy American gamekeeper please

No one mentions how they are actually pressing their crotches together in this scene, and then Clive bottles out :'(
