Letter from Oscar Wilde to Bosie #1

Savoy Hotel, London [March 1893]

Dearest of all Boys,

Your letter was delightful, red and yellow wine to me; but I am sad and out of sorts. Bosie, you must not make scenes with me. They kill me, they wreck the loveliness of life. I cannot see you, so Greek and gracious, distorted with passion. I cannot listen to your curved lips saying hideous things to me. I would sooner be blackmailed by every renter in London than have you bitter, unjust, hating. I must see you soon. You are the divine thing I want, the thing of grace and beauty; but I don't know how to do it. Shall I come to Salisbury? My bill here is £49 for a week. I have also got a new sitting-room over the Thames. Why are you not here, my dear, my wonderful boy? I fear I must leave; no money, no credit, and a heart of lead.

          Your own Oscar

What do u think about this letter? Personally, i think Oscar was extremely manipulated by Bosie and that's sad. Bosie took advantage of him and his feelings, also he was an opportunistic and i think he used Oscar for took revenge of his father. I'd make this longer but I still doubt my English.
