Rupert Croft-Cooke Quotes
IT Was A Sad If Not An Altogether Broken Young Man Who Came To Live In London After Wilde's Death. He Could Not Yet Realize That People, And Particularly People In What Was Still Called Society, Had An Uneasy Conscience About Their Treatment Of His Friend And Would Fasten On Him As A Convenient Scapegoat. We Did Not Kill The Man's Genius, They Said In Effect, We Did Not Encourage A Conspiracy To Imprison Him By Means Of A Preposterous Law, We Are Not To Blame For His Barren Last Years And Early Death; It Was All The Fault Of This Young Man Who Bewitched Him Into A Disastrous Attack On His Father, Who Is Still Free, Rich, Handsome, As We Are Not.
