“Tudo era agora tão claro. Ele tinha mentido. Fraseava isso como «tendo sido alimentado de mentiras», mas a mentira é o alimento natural da adolescência, e ele tinha comido sofregamente. A sua primeira decisão foi a de ser de futuro mais cuidadoso. Ia viver uma vida honesta, não porque isso tivesse agora alguma importância, mas por uma questão de lealdade. Não voltaria a enganar-se tanto a si próprio. Não ia - e este era o teste - fingir estar interessado em mulheres, quando o único sexo que o atraía era o seu próprio. Amava homens e sempre os amara. Ansiava por abraçá-los e misturar o seu ser com o deles. Agora que perdera o homem que tinha correspondido ao seu amor, ele admitiu isto. --------------------------------------------------- P.70, MAURICE, E.M. FORSTER He would not deceive himself so much. He would not – and this was the test – pretend to care about women when the only sex that attracted him was his own. He loved men and always had loved them. He longed to embrace them and mingle his being with theirs. Now that the man who returned his love had been lost, he admitted this.”
