[Letter to William Ward, 11 July 1878]Dear Boy, Why don__ you write to me? I don__ know what has become of you.As for me I am ruined. The law suit is going against me and I am afraid I will have to pay costs, which means leaving Oxford and doing some horrid work to earn bread. The world is too much for me.However, I have seen Greece and had some golden days of youth. I go back to Oxford immediately for viva voce and then think of rowing up the river to town with Frank Miles. Will you come? YoursOscar

Welcome in what?In adult world??I know it, people which are not sirious have a lot of money and don't know what to do. Every secret told to someone it's not anymore secured, if somebody know the secret, it's not anymore secret there is possibility somebody else to know from where somebody else...It's really "OMG", the "Nerds" which most people call them do some positive things, the people which people call them cool what they do??Say jokes which are even not funny, but we must laugh, (So far I I don't get the joke?...It's not there the problem, the problem is that it's too stupid to get it, what do I see?)...I see a change made, a stage from not secured to not sirious...

All these angels start coming out of the boxes and everywhere, guys carrying crucifixes and stuff all over the place, and the whole bunch of them - thousands of them - singing __ome All Ye Faithful_ like mad. Big deal. It__ supposed to be religious as hell, I know, and very pretty and all, but I can__ see anything religious or pretty, for God__ sake, about a bunch of actors carrying crucifixes all over the stage. When they all finished and started going out the boxes again, you could tell they could hardly wait to get a cigarette of something. I saw it with old Sally Hayes the year before, and she kept saying how beautiful it was, the costumes and all. I said old jesus probably would__e puked if he could see it.
