Splendid Secret

From prison, Oscar Wilde writes "I forgot that every little action of the common day makes or unmakes character, and that therefore what one has done in the secret chamber one has some day to cry aloud on the house-tops."

I have always yearned for the day when what I have done in the secret chamber is being cried aloud on the house-tops. Everything I did in the secret chamber was done with the expectation of a house-tops phase to follow. Not every secret is a guilty one. Not every private activity is private because it reeks of shame and immorality. Some secrets are splendid. Some hidden things are treasures.
