What
of other* periods?
64J~1896 – 64G~1904 {–} 64R~1912: I tend to associate Beardsley
and Wilde with this period, although both died relatively early;**
both {conveying} a distinctly un-’masculine’ languidness of style
in image of self or others, which does not necessarily go with the
Aestheticism of which they might appear to be a late stage. I note
that Beardsley enjoyed a notable revival in the 1960’s.***
Wilde
was homosexual, Beardsley was **** not; if G~ implies male
homosexuality, my earlier ideas linking male homosexuality and
collegiate-ness around S~ are wrong.# The Gay#* movement certainly
flourished from the late sixties/early seventies onward, along with
feminism.
Men’s
wigs came into fashion (in modern Europe) (after Louis XIII [of
France]) in 1624, and lasted until the French and American
Revolutions as a symbol of social status. This period of 128 years
(64x2) is immediately before R~ on the 2048 year cycle; many men of
the Civil War#*** period in England, of course, wore their hair long
(popularly the ‘Cavaliers’ against the cropped Puritan
‘Roundheads’, although the division may not have been so
clear-cut). I do not have any more information on hair lengths.

{There
are different types of homosexuality: for example, in male
homosexuality, the type that in its maleness fears the female
‘unknown’ and clubs together with other males, in varying states
of intensity; and the type that is attracted to males from a female
viewpoint albeit in a male body.}
[‘For
example’ indicates that these are not suggested
as the only types of male homosexuality; but the distinction within
what was then considered homosexuality, between what might now be
characterised as homosexual on the one hand, and trans-gender on the
other, is perhaps interesting]
