Question #4

Dorian begins to regret not having been more honest with Basil. He recognizes the difference between Basil's friendship and Harry Wotton's: "Basil would have helped him to resist Lord Henry's influence, and the still more poisonous influences that came from his own temperament. The love that he bore him––for it was really love––had something noble and intellectual in it."

What does "bore" mean?
