Seventh Form follows Function




"It is the kind of love that comes to children before they know its meaning.
In England it comes when you are almost men; I think I like that.
It is better to have that kind of love for another boy than for a girl."
- Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited.

I confess my Anglophilia with some pride, but I'm a bit embarrassed by my lifelong interest in the British Public (USAmericans would call them "private.") Boys Schools.

Nevermind that the only actual public school boy I ever met was an arrogant, self-satisfied jerk who delighted in finding everyone's insecurities and using them for his own enjoyment. But at least he was interesting, and I wanted him so badly.
