Having never encountered this word before. I Googled it and came across the
following work:

Secreted Desires: The Major Uranians: Hopkins, Pater and Wilde
http://www.mmkaylor.com

IMO, interesting reading for those with interest in the topic and time on
their hands. It's available at no charge, despite its being Copyright 2006.
