<descriptionOfLetter>The following letter was introduced in Wilde's libel trial by sir Edward
Clark, Wilde's attorney. Although the letter lends support to the defense case, Clark chose

dramatic fashion during its case.</descriptionOfLetter>

<opening>My Own Boy,</opening>
<letterBody>Your sonnet is quite lovely, and it is a marvel that those red-roseleaf lips of
yours should be made no less for the madness of music and song than for the madness of
kissing. Your slim gilt soul walks between passion and poetry. I know Hyacinthus, whom
Apollo loved so madly, was you in Greek days. Why are you alone in London, and when do
you go to Salisbury? Do go there to cool your hands in the grey twilight of Gothic
things, and come here whenever you like. It is a lovely place and lacks only you; but go
to Salisbury first.</letterBody>
<Signoff>Always, with undying love, Yours, <sendersName>Oscar</sendersName></Signoff>
