[65] Cellini, _Life_, translated by J.A. Symonds, introduction, p. xxxv, and p. 448. Queringhi (_La Psiche di B. Cellini_, 1913) argues that Cellini was not homosexual. [66] See the interesting account of Duquesnoy by Eekhoud (_Jahrbuch für sexuelle Zwischenstufen_, Bd. ii, 1899), an eminent Belgian novelist who has himself been subjected to prosecution on account of the pictures of homosexuality in his novels and stories, _Escal-Vigor_ and _Le Cycle Patibulaire_ (see _Jahrbuch für sexuelle Zwischenstufen_, Bd. iii, 1901). [67] See Justi's _Life of Winkelmann_, and also Moll's _Die Konträre Sexualempfindung_, third edition, 1899, pp. 122-126. In this work, as well as in Raffalovich's _Uranisme et Unisexualité_, as also in Moll's _Berühmte Homosexuelle_ (1910) and Hirschfeld's _Die Homosexualität_, p. 650 et seq., there will be found some account of many eminent men who are, on more or less reliable grounds, suspected of homosexuality. Other German writers brought forward as inverted are Platen, K.P. Moritz, and Iffland. Platen was clearly a congenital invert, who sought, however, the satisfaction of his impulses in Platonic friendship; his homosexual poems and the recently published unabridged edition of his diary render him an interesting object of study; see for a sympathetic account of him, Ludwig Frey, "Aus dem Seelenleben des Grafen Platen," _Jahrbuch für sexuelle Zwischenstufen_, vols. i and vi. Various kings and potentates have been mentioned in this connection, including the Sultan Baber; Henri III of France; Edward II, William II, James I, and William III of England, and perhaps Queen Anne and George III, Frederick the Great and his brother, Heinrich, Popes Paul II, Sixtus IV, and Julius II, Ludwig II of Bavaria, and others. Kings, indeed, seem peculiarly inclined to homosexuality. [68] Schultz, _Das Höfische Leben_, Bd. i, ch. xiii.

[72] Thus she writes in 1701 (_Correspondence_, edited by Brunet, vol. i, p. 58): "Our heroes take as their models Hercules, Theseus, Alexander, and Cæsar, who all had their male favorites. Those who give themselves up to this vice, while believing in Holy Scripture, imagine that it was only a sin when there were few people in the world, and that now the earth is populated it may be regarded as a _divertissement_. Among the common people, indeed, accusations of this kind are, so far as possible, avoided; but among persons of quality it is publicly spoken of; it is considered a fine saying that since Sodom and Gomorrah, the Lord has punished no one for such offences."
