Robbie Fay The Ballad of Reading Gaol
A Man of No Importance (1994) Rufus Sewell s character reading from Oscar Wilde s The Ballad of Reading Gaol Like two doomed ships that pass in storm We had crossed each others way: But we made no sign, we said no word, We had no word to say; For we did not meet in the holy night, But in the shameful day. A prison wall was round us both, Two outcast men were we: The world had thrust us from its heart, And God from out His care: And the iron gin that waits for Sin Had caught us in its snare.
