ABSTRACT
Secrecy has this disadvantage: we lose the sense of proportion; we cannot tell whether our secret is important or not.

Before considering why some authors of literature write about homo sexuality, we must lean back and wonder why other poets, playwrights, and novelists contrive to ignore the subject. And before tackling that question, we must first determine what is meant by literature and by homosexuality, for both these words are used daily to preen and to damn, but with little agreement as to their meaning.
