The Secret Life of Oscar Wilde. Neil McKenna.
Bosie’s sexuality was not fluid, but fixed, fixated in fact, on boys and young men. He saw himself as ” a frank and natural pagan ” ; a child of Hellas, a pre-Christian for whom the sins of the flesh were not sins at all. Bosie convinced himself that, in the firmament of ” pagan ethics “, sex was life-affirming, and sexual abstinance pernicious and life-denying. Bosie was convinced that Uranian love was not just an alternative to sex with women but was actually superior , a higher form of love, “the higher philosophy” as he and Oscar and others termed it.

One of the most distinctive qualities of homoerotic poetry was its embodiment of the yearning quality of homoerotic desire, the eternal striving after love with a youth.
