Beautiful

If this is Lord Alfred Douglas' actual voice, it is as enthralling as his written sentiments. What a series of existences he led: abused child, an openly gay male, branded (wrongly) as the cause of Oscar Wilde's downfall, defender of homosexuality in a time when it was utterly taboo, a writer of sonnets to rival Shakespeare, married to Olive, dad to a son committed to an asylum, devout Roman Catholic. If I could meet one person from history, it would be Lord Alfred Douglas.

@swimrdie Tis me Dear Friend reciting Bosies beautiful passionate elegant poem. Yes the poor chap has been rather vilified,for supposedly feeding Oscar Wilde to the Wolves,but as you say he was just as much a victim to institutionalised Homophobia as poor old Oscar,and Bosie wrote such lovely poetry I must do some more of his poems when time permits.

Kind Regards
