I love Maurice Main: rebel-rebel

weeping over this inscription i found in my secondhand copy of Maurice:

"Harry, I'm glad I met you in 1973. Nathaniel"

“A happy ending was imperative. I shouldn't have bothered to write otherwise. I was determined that in fiction anyway two men should fall in love and remain in it for the ever and ever that fiction allows, and in this sense Maurice and Alec still roam the greenwood.”

- Terminal Note (written in 1960) of Maurice by E.M Forster (written in 1914 and published in 1971)

I drew this after watching the movie. It’s not great, but I was trying out new brushes so it’s ok.

Now we shan’t never be parted. It’s finished.

I’m about to flex incredibly hard but yesterday I had lunch with a 94 year old maths professor of Oxford who knew E.M Forster. That’s it that’s the post

the reason why maurice makes me so emotional is that E M Forster wrote it in 1913, knew that it couldn't be published, held on to it for years and sent it only to his friends, and then after his death Christopher Isherwood, another gay writer made the effort to get it published....and then in 1987 it was directed by another gay man...and now hearing the dedication 'to a happier year" read out by Ben Whishaw, an openly gay man who's been married for ten years just makes me feel some type of insane way.
