"The Love that dare not speak its name" in this century is such a great affection of an elder for a younger man as there was between David and Jonathan, such as Plato made the very basis of his philosophy, and such as you find in the sonnets of Michelangelo and Shakespeare. It is that deep, spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect. It dictates and pervades great works of art like those of Shakespeare and Michelangelo, and those two letters of mine, such as they are. It is in this century misunderstood, so much misunderstood that it may be described as the "Love that dare not speak its name," and on account of it I am placed where I am now. It is beautiful, it is fine, it is the noblest form of affection. There is nothing unnatural about it. It is intellectual, and it repeatedly exists between an elder and a younger man, when the elder man has intellect, and the younger man has all the joy, hope and glamour of life before him. That it should be so, the world does not understand. The world mocks at it and sometimes puts one in the pillory for it." = Oscar Wilde 1845-1900
Oscar Wilde is a really hoopy frood who didn't deserve to be put in jail.

When "jiteshr (a random stranger on chess.com) lost in chess to me, despite having an advantageous position and me giving him the opportunity to draw he still decided to continue playing and he had a lead of 21 points and 7 minutes and I had 2 minutes but he still lost in the end to time. Then I said to him, "If thy dare to, thy shall bare too."

The way you feel when you’ve been hurt more than you thought possible and you’ve hurt someone more than you thought possible but you love them so much it hurts and they don’t even know that they’ve been hurt. It’s great.
I dreamt of an old man on a park bench. One eye was dead and white, the pupil transfixed by a scar. The other burned blue. It saw. He raised a shaking finger and pointed at me. “How dare you forgive me,” he croaked, his voice the death rattle of a starved bird and a dying star.
