“He has also ruined my life, so I can’t help loving him — it is the only thing to do.”

— Excerpt from a letter to solicitor Leonard Smithers from Oscar Wilde about the love of his life, the poet Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas, on October 1st 1897.

the interconnection and web of queer poet's in the late 1800s amazes me so much like there's this notion of queer people always gravitating towards queer people and i feel like that network is very true to that statement. Cause like. oscar wilde was dating lord alfred douglas who married this bisexual poet who was with this lesbian poet for a while like you cannot tell me there was no secret society of queer people at that time. I mean, obviously there were but the evidence to support that is so satisfying as you read about all these queer people that existed in a time where they 'weren't supposed to' and just found their way to each other against all odds.

#yet even when queerness is accepted i still dont have a girlfriend #how did mr wilde get a bf when it was literally illegal #lgbtq #queer #gay #lesbian #bisexual #poetry #oscar wilde #lord alfred douglas

“I never knew about Lord Alfred Douglas and Viscount Drumlanrig Francis Douglas, gay brothers who both lived interesting and tragic lives. Lord Douglas AKA Bosie lived a long embittered life, hunted, and also haunted by his relationship with Oscar Wilde. The viscount died young, in mysterious circumstances by gunshot…on the estate of his lover…the British Prime Minister Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery. I would definitely watch that series, but they would probably make it all woke or romanticized.” - Submitted by Anonymous

The Cod

There's something very strange and odd, About the habits of the Cod.

For when you're swimming in the sea, He sometimes bites you on the knee.

And though his bites are not past healing, It is a most unpleasant feeling.

And when you're diving down below, He often nips you on the toe.

And though he doesn't hurt you much, He has a disagreeable touch.

There's one thing to be said for him, - It is treat to see him swim.

But though he swims in graceful curves, He rather gets upon your nerves.

∼ Lord Alfred Douglas (1870 - 1945)

I also have a new perspective on Dorian Gray after I saw both the movie Dorian Gray and Wilde. What if Henry is the devil, or he represents the devil? Since he is corrupting Dorian constantly, and he made Dorian aware of his temporary youth and beauty, therefore driving him to a passive and unconscious faustian bargain?

And is it just me, or Lord Alfred Douglas has a very similar behaviour to Lord Henry's? Think about this. Both Dorian and Oscar were influenced by a Lord. Both of them were quite chill about everything before the Lord entered their lives (more or less). Both of their lives end up pretty bad after being influenced.

Now I know that The picture of Dorian Gray was written in 1890, before Oscar met Bosie, but Dorian's life and Oscar's are incredibly similar.
