This writing alleged that Mr Wilde had been posing immorally. It would be noticed, he said, that it was not charged that there was any actual offence, but the gravity of the case consisted in the fact that the libels complained of had extended over a long period of time.

At this point the marquis, who, with clenched fists, sat glaring at Mr Wilde, made a movement as though he intended to attack him, and he undoubtedly would have done so had it not been for the persons between them.

Despite the sentiments expressed in this letter the jury must take into consideration the artistic circle in which Mr Wilde moved. The latter himself described this letter as a "prose sonnet." In 1893, Sir Edward said, the marquis of Queensberry openly libeled Mr Wilde in the latter's own house, and was shown the door in the presence of the servants, and refused further admittance. The annoyance was aggravated by the behavior of the marquis on the first night of the production of any of Mr Wilde's plays.

"My dear boy - Your sonnet is quite lively. Your roseleaf lips seem made no less for the music of song than for the madness of kisses. Your slim, gilt soul walks between poetry and passion. I know that Hyacinthus, who was loved by Apollo, was you in the Greek days. Why are you alone in London, and when do you go to Salisbury? Do you sleep in the gray twilight of Gothic things? Come here whenever you like, but go to Salisbury first."
