A chapter in the book Poetry

Oscar Wilde

by Jackarrie


Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin, to Sir William and Lady Jane Wilde
Socialism, one of his many interests, yet at times acclaimed, at times reviled

Controversial larger than life poet, dramatist, author, a scholarly celebrity
An academic, he became one of London's top writers with a known complexity
Revered for his great plays, famous quotes are part of his legacy
 
While Wilde expounded an anarchist philosophy
Imprisoned for two years accused of homosexuality
Lamented on his life, in his spiritual journey he wrote about his crime
De  Profundis a great write but sad, because he was a victim of the time
Exhibitionist, this poet had more to give, died of meningitis when only in his prime.

Recognized


(16 October 1854 - 30 November 1900)
Wilde is still better remembered for his personal life ,his exuberant personality, consummate wit and infamous imprisonment for homosexuality, than for his literary accomplishments.


"I don't regret for a single moment having lived for pleasure. I did it
to the full, as one should do everything that one does. There was no
pleasure I did not experience. I threw the pearl of my soul into a cup
of wine. I went down the primrose path to the sound of flutes. I lived
on honeycomb. But to have continued the same life would have been wrong
because it would have been limiting" Oscar Wilde

Written in DE Profundis in prision.
