Yes, Oscar Wilde's prison torments are very relevant to the tragedy of Kevin Spacey :
[“The most terrible thing about it is not that it breaks one’s heart—hearts are made to be broken—but that it turns one’s heart to stone.”
― Oscar Wilde, De Profundis
The Ballad of Reading Gaol is a poem by Oscar Wilde, written in exile in Berneval-le-Grand, after his release from Reading Gaol (/ˈredɪŋ dʒeɪl/) on 19 May 1897. Wilde had been incarcerated in Reading after being convicted of homosexual offences in 1895 and sentenced to two years' hard labour in prison. ] "
I also recall Oscar Wilde's " The Soul of Man Under Socialism ".
A very subversive gay man in his time !
