Subject: Wow and wow. There is so much great stuff here, I'm not sure where to start! Pamelalass, I do believe that John must remain alone mostly because of historical circumstances. What might he do, afterall, given his social position--the need for discretion seems to make it almost impossible for John. Were he a more bohemian type, things could be different for him, perhaps.>>>>>>
In reply to: pamelalass 's message, "Percy is weak, and I don't have any patience for him, either. But I do wonder why it seems that Grey is so alone - - are there no other men who prefer men who are also equal to him in strength, honor, courage, etc? So far he has a string of love affairs that have ended badly; his lovers are either weak, or dead. I know we've talked about Stephan as a possible soul mate, but is it possible that part of the Grey "mystique" is his alone-ness? And if there is an unpleasant subtext in the fact that Grey is not granted a worthy love interest and a "forever love", should we chalk it up to the historical circumstances facing a homosexual man in the 18th century? But why does he have to pine so for a heterosexual man he can never have?" on 06:02:30 10/18/07 Thu

Brief getaways and remote locales may help, but not in John's everyday world, sadly. The torch he carries for James also protects John in an odd manner in that he continues to "save himself" for something that he knows he can never have. kgp, and Oleander, yes, James is almost larger than life for John. The combination of intellect, education, honor, and astounding good looks appeal to John (and a coupla' million swooning readers!), but John can only cherish his friendship and his own love fantasies about James. verra safe, no? I don't believe John is infatuated--he holds James in deep respect, and find him intensely attractive...hmm, could be true love. I have always felt that one-sided true love was an impossibility, though, since it takes two!
