...Rose's accusations of elitism simply don't hold water, which brings us to what appears to be her real problem: happiness. We are charged with being "tipsy" and "bawdy," and of participating in "excess" and in a "glorified lovefest;" most damningly, Ms. Rose even accuses us of "enjoy[ing our] fete." At least one person, Ms. Rose smirkingly tattles, actually vomited from too much champagne. Naturally, we share Ms. Rose's indignation at these sickening displays of pleasure.

...love letters of Marx, Napoleon and Poe, as well as Flaubert's descriptions of Egyptian dancing girls, are worth reading even beyond their titillation value. The excerpts from Walt Whitman's diary, in which he berates himself for his homosexual longings--"Depress the adhesive [i.e. homosexual] nature/It is in excess, making life a torment/all this diseased, feverish disproportionate adhesiveness..."--are almost as beautiful as his poetry...
