Oscar Wilde, His Life & Confessions, V1

Page 363 of 363

The bitterest words in Dante are not bitter enough to render my feeling: 

"Non ragioniam di lor ma guarda e passa." 

The whole scene had sickened me.  Hatred masquerading as justice, striking
vindictively and adding insult to injury.  The vile picture had its fit setting
outside.  We had not left the court when the cheering broke out in the streets,
and when we came outside there were troops of the lowest women of the town
dancing together and kicking up their legs in hideous abandonment, while the
surrounding crowd of policemen and spectators guffawed with delight.  As I
turned away from the exhibition, as obscene and soul-defiling as anything
witnessed in the madness of the French revolution, I caught a glimpse of Wood
and the Parkers getting into a cab, laughing and leering. 

These were the venal creatures Oscar Wilde was punished for having corrupted!
