What...

Here's a question about Wilde.

And here's a question about projecting... No, a trick.

John and Stephen both, a trick.

How does he do it?

How does he say, I am a genius...

and you feel sorry for him.

How do you say, I am a genius with humility?

He liked to work, though.

He liked to work.

This is part of the torture of prison life, is the eternities of... He says the suffering just goes on and over and on and on.

and over and tomorrow will be the same and today has lasted an eternity and we start again tomorrow because as we heard from Merlin Holland there, he had no paper, he had nothing to distract him.

And spending all his money.

I mean, it's that thing of having... It's very rare to have anyone who has been that famous, that fated, to have everything taken away.

And you can see why the biblical story is so attractive to him.

and why he doesn't need Christ to be the son of God.

He just needs him to be somebody with a poetical soul, with an artistic soul.

I see to Christ that imagination was simply a form of love.

All he has left in the end in this cell is, I mean, he has some access to literature, but he has a way of telling a story that makes sense out of what he's been through.

And the thing is that he does it, but it is, I think, the bit where he comes out of jail that is so painful.
