In Ireland a lot of literary figures got into drama with eachother (one author got with this poet's crush cough -Yeats and maude gonne- cough who was cousins with another poet) and they would make poems basically roasting eachother (olden day diss tracks??). Not only that but some politicians/leaders knew the poets and they were in the same circles (maude gonne and marcievicz were buddies and so on). I'm Irish and I have to say our writers are a blast to learn about.

Are You trying to say Markievicz? Was Gay She was not Many were but She was not. As for Maud Gonne MacBride She was bleeding nuts She had Sex at Her sons grave to try recreate Him. Yeats was in love with Her and many of His poems are about His long desire to be with Her. He even turned his desire to her Daughter Iseult when He wasn't getting no where which was sick because she was a mere teen and he was an old man and Maude didn't have much time for her Daughter as she wanted to recreate her lost son

I should have known Oscar Wilde would be a Libra.
@johnnydtractive
@johnnydtractive 4 года назад
"Libra (Wilde) and Gemini (Whitman) have an easy rapport since they're genuinely curious about other people. Both have a light approach, which makes the relationship feel fresh. They'll enjoy sharing ideas about everything, taking in cultural events and perhaps collaborating. Both are air signs and tend to meet the world through ideas, and even fall in love with them. Initial sparks can fly when the words flow, and both are delighted by the conversation. On the mental level, they're skipping merrily holding hands, and finding the chat exhilarating. However, big thinkers like these can also think themselves into negativity loops. Libra tends to push the envelope and will press Gemini for a solid opinion. The changeable Gemini might feel under pressure to perform, as an intellectual heavyweight. When Gemini jokes their way out of the situation, that's Libra's cue to accept them for who they are."

This contradicts the fact that Oscar's first homosexual encounter was Robbie coming on to him- and Robbie was around after his first child's birth I believe.
@luc716
@luc716 6 месяцев назад
Not really, because Oscar and Robbie's relationship is a rumor. Robbie publicly denied having any sexual or romantic relationship with Oscar.And Robbie, compared to Oscar, was very open about his sexuality. He came to his family as gay just at 18 and was accepted. According to Harris (this is not a very reliable source, although he was Oscar's close friend), Oscar had his first love when he was a teenager with other boy from school. Oscar showed interest in men at an early age. For example, he told a girl he was seeing that he would fall in love with her if she were a man, or he signed up for cricket at Oxford to admire a student with perfect Greek legs. Some people believe that Miles and Wilde had a romantic relationship - the fact is that they were inseparable. They spent most of their time together and even moved in together

Historical fact: at the time, Whitman was living at his brother's house, after suffering a massive stroke. Not only that, but in the same house another of his siblings, severely handicapped, was also residing. Whitman worked in the best of his ability, writing and publishing from home, but was assisted in the every day tasks. So, the whole fictional scene of Whitman opening the door and having sex with Wilde, is just that: fiction.

@Grey Edgerton There is a kind of orientation, I think, for those like myself, we are called 'sapiosexual,' that simply means that the MIND is the most erotic and creative love-toy a human being can have. . Male, female, young, old, ripped, smooth....a strip tease for the sapiosexual is the gradual revealing of the searing hot. buttery smooth, -melts-on-your-tongue fantasies and kinkiness brewing behind that cool, bespectacled visage, or that gentle smile. I do think O.W. was a sapiosexual, what do you think?

Fun to speculate about but based on what I've read about their tastes in males I am more willing to believe the men talked literary shop, got drunk together, Walt made a few gently rebuffed moves, and they indeed did "sleep together" intoxicated but I doubt anything "arose to the occasion". Whitman supposedly only had one bed ( a clever choice considering his fondness for entertaining local "striplings") so where else would Wilde sleep? They were each into different types of young men. Also, I hate to make him sound like a priss, but I believe Oscar would not be sexually attracted to Whitman, who was aged and grizzled looking rather than a young dandy. I have a feeling the truth of their encounter was just as eccentric as the two personalities involved but not exactly the "steamy encounter" of an M/M romance jack-book.

Most younger gay men would cringe at the thought of having sex with a man as old as Whitman was at the time. So I think Wilde's response, "his kiss is still on my lips," was a nice way of saying how grossed out Oscar was when the bearded old fart came onto him.

Years ago I used to quote Oscar Wilde "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars" as general commentary on life. sub.

Interesting... Bram Stroker (I mean STOKER) was also enamoured with Whitman and there are conjectures about the nature of their 'friendship' as well. Good for them all - I hope they felt inspired and loved. I would love to know what else Wilde got up to in America - particularly the American West. He was apparently quite a hit with the silver miners in Nevada and Arizona. Ride'm cowboy...

Hey, when you do numbered lists you should inset them away from the edge of the frame a bit. Your bottom list items keep getting covered up by the play bar if it hasn't minimized itself. (Awesome videos btw. I really like your work.)

Aesthetics? Nothing could be less, than that meeting of Oscar and Walt. This 3rd floor studio , a "den"; having to inebriate oneself before being able to "perform", bonding through belittling; all that is missing are the sexually explicit photos or drawings. Poetic licence is already documented on separate accounts.

Ok, I’m not trying to take anything away form this poet on poet action, but, Walt was a teetotaler right? So why would he start getting sloshed as soon as Wild showed up?
