Reading
"In Reading gaol by Reading
town
There is a pit of shame,
And in it lies a wretched man
Eaten by teeth of flame,
In burning winding-sheet he
lies,
And his grave has got no
name."
Oscar Wilde, The Ballad of Reading Gaol
(1898)

De Profundis (1905)
. . . Suffering is one very long moment. We
cannot divide it by seasons.
We can only record its moods, and chronicle
their return. With us time
itself does not progress. It revolves. It seems
to circle round one centre
of pain.
