Hot from his gilded arms had stooped to kiss
The trembling petals, or young Mercury
Low-flying to the dusky ford of Dis
Had with one feather of his pinions
Just brushed them! the slight stem which bears the burden of its suns
Is hardly thicker than the gossamer,
Or poor Arachne’s
silver tapestry,—
Men say it bloomed upon the sepulchre
Of
One I sometime worshipped, but to me
It seems to bring diviner
memories
Of faun-loved Heliconian glades and blue nymph-haunted
seas,
Of an untrodden vale at Tempe where
On the clear river’s
marge Narcissus lies,
The tangle of the forest in his hair,
The
silence of the woodland in his eyes,
Wooing that drifting imagery
which is
No sooner kissed than broken; memories of Salmacis
Who is not boy nor girl and yet is both,
Fed by two fires and
unsatisfied
Through their excess, each passion. . . Read More

Wilde has such a gift with phrasing, I always think about how parallel he seems to me with Ryan Adams. So many accolades so early, then such a fever to tear him apart.
Here's a few quotes:
A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.

I remember discovering Oscar Wilde with 'The Picture of Dorian Gray', a luscious and decadent read which, ironically enough, had not only made his success but also caused his downfall (being quoted ad nauseam during his trial). Well, Oscar Wilde, we know, finally ended up in jail. His work from behi
So essential it's not even funny. Not a better writer in the English language. Also if one can have a hero in this world, I think Wilde can fit that bill. He maybe the first writer that I realize was a rebel of sorts. My first actual rock n' roll figure that I looked up to.
I started reading Wilde as
Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde, the man that you are.
I actually can't believe I have now read almost everything by Oscar Wilde, a writer that I already admired so much from only having read The Picture of Dorian Gray. Now I can appreciate the full scope of his ingenious writing, his sarcastic
Before starting this collection I had actually never read anything by Oscar Wilde - I have now read everything by Oscar Wilde, and can officially say I am a massive fan! His writing is incredibly clever and witty, but also riveting, humorous and beautiful. My favourites would be The Importance of Be
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SON! YOU DID WELL! ♥
Almost three years and 1,270 pages later I'm finally marking this as read, what a surreal feeling. I cannot believe that I have read every single word of Oscar's published writing. I know, they're are still many private letters left for me to discover but, you guy
Brilliant writing. Real, deep themes which one can relate to the present life. A fantastic ending. Definitely worth every single one of those 5 stars.
