Oskar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe and Lord Byron were all my favourite writers (strange that all of them were ostracized accused of being gay!). When I was posted in England on work, I had the strange experience of visiting the prison in Reading where Oscar Wilde was kept as a prisoner! Very poignant visit!

Wow! I didnt know they have preserved that jail in Reading – lucky you. I can picturize the rush of emotion staring at those railings – Wilde !
