To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Church the Poet seemed to suffer from ennui. He sat in a listless attitude with his elbow resting on the back of his chair, his legs crossed, and gazed dreamily around him and above him.
There were times when he was so oblivious of his surroundings, so lost in reverie, that it re- quired a friendly " nudge " from one of the " lost sheep " beside him to remind him that a 390 The Life of Oscar Wilde hymn had been given out, and that he must rise and sing, or at least appear to sing, his praise...s unto God.
When the Chaplain was addressing his shorn and grey-garbed flock, telling them how wicked they all were, and how thankful they should all be that they lived in a Christian country where a paternal Government was as anxious for the welfare of their souls as for the safe-keeping of their miserable bodies ; that society did not wish to punish them, although they had erred and sinned against society; that they were under- going a process of purification ; that their prison was their purgatory, from which they could emerge as pure and spotless as though they had never sinned at all ; that if they did so society would meet and welcome them with open arms ; that they were the prodigal sons of the com- munity, and that the community, against which they had previously sinned, was fattening calves to feast them, if they would but undertake to return to the fold and become good citizens, — the Poet would smile.
