Ballad of Reading Gaol is Wilde's most moving poem and follows the inmate sentenced to hang through his final three weeks. Heart-wrenching and eye-opening, the ballad also expresses perfectly Wilde's belief that humanity is made up only of offenders, each of us deserving a greater charity for the severity of our crimes.
