Here I was thinking of:
"I am too fond of reading books to care to write them", by Oscar Wilde.
I love reading and always have since i was a child. And I think the best invention ever was these tiny bookmarks permanently attached to books (I have no idea what they are called technically correct but you know what I mean).
Non bisogna mai cercare di capire una donna. Le donne sono delle immagini; gli uomini sono dei problemi. Se vuoi sapere che cosa una donna veramente intenda (il che comunque e’ sempre pericoloso) guardala, non ascoltarla.
[Oscar Wilde]

Probably one of the most life like statues I've seen in a very long time, I kept expecting him to get up.
Stargazing in Lichfield has been a total waste of time since the industrial revolution. I can but dream.

Oscar and Eduard in Galway city
A copy of a sculpture in Tartu, Estonia.
"Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), who was born in Ireland, and Estonian writer Eduard Vilde (1856-1933), both of the same generation, sit on a bench together. Sculptor Tiiu Kirsipuu, who modelled the writers according to photos, has noted that the year she had in mind when she created the sculpture was 1890, when the two Wildes could have met for a witty chat."

Happy Birthday OSCAR WILDE (October 16, 1854 -November 30, 1900)
the story of the statue is a wild one....for it has folklore on its own...the 'winged angel' represents oscar wilde with it's enormous erect PENIS . At the turn of the 1900's this scandalized paris.
only recently, the late 1980's onward, copious women have kissed his grave leaving their lipstick marks. it seems more likely that OSCAR would appreciate guys pressing their lips to his grave. so when ADDA DADA first visited his grave back in the 1980's, he placed a nice smack on OSCAR's grave...sans lipstick, though, for ADDA never could find the right color...
(ADDA did met the woman who started the 'lipstick' madness on the tomb. it is a long and wild as fk story. (of course, ADDA would meet up with her..yes, i have photos.) )
the tomb has been cleaned up and restored (no erect penis, though). there is a protective glass wall to prevent people from leaving their 'kisses' on the grave.

Oscar Wilde, operated by Irish Ferries, crossing the English Channel from Calais to Dover.
Taken from the Queen Victoria as we sailed back to Southampton on a grey and windy day (shutter speed 1/2000) so very typical of the Channel this time of year.
La vita imita l'arte molto più di quanto l'arte imita la vita.
Oscar Wilde
Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.

To drift with every passion till my soul
Is a stringed lute on which all winds can play,
Is it for this that I have given away
Mine ancient wisdom, and austere control?
Words by Oscar Wilde

OSCAR WILDE was born on October 16, 1854. He passed away on November 30, 1900, in L'HOTEL on RUE BEAUX ARTS in ROOM 16.
The room still has the original furnishings including OSCARS death bed. One night is now only 600 euros ($900)! Don't think it is a little hovel of a room. It has a balcony; receiving room, and THE bedroom, which, yes, still has the original wallpaper!
"EITHER THAT WALLPAPER GOES OR I DO" was OSCARS last words on November 30, 1900.

OSCAR WILDE
Born October 16, 1854 DUBLIN
Died November 30, 1900 PARIS
Oscar's body had to wait 9 years in Bagneaux cemetery while the tomb was being prepared and various protests were held. WILDE's remains were finally transferred to PERE LACHAISE on july 19, 1909. (The doctors had advised that OSCAR be buried in quicklime to reduce the body to bone before the transfer. Instead, the substance preserved him, shocking the gravediggers, for his hair and beard had even grown longer.)
it took artist JACOB EPSTEIN three years to sculpt his monument, which represents OSCAR WILDE as a 'winged messenger'. It is done in the egyptian art deco style. When EPSTEIN arrived to put the finishing touches on the statue, he found it shrouded and guarded by police for the cemetery conservator had found it 'indecent' and they wanted it banned & removed !
the statue had a HUGE erect penis !
officials refused to bow to public intellectual pressure until an acceptable alteration was made-so a plaque of a fig leaf was put over the 'privates' making them private.
the tomb was FINALLY unveiled in 1914, but by 1922 the erect penis had hacked away! The fig leaf as well as a substantial portion of the stone penis lay beneath.
(rumor has it that the conservator, after finding the parts at the monument's base, was supposed to have used them as paperweight)
OSCAR WILDE's poem , THE BALLAD OF READING GAOL is engraved on the back of the tomb:
and alien tears will fill for him
pity's long broken urn
for his mourners will be outcast men
and outcasts always mourn.
From 'out of the depths' comes awakening..
and from sorrow, comes great joy.. :)

Macro Monday: Theme - Oscar Wilde Quotes
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at stars. ~Oscar Wilde
A favorite quote of mine. This shot was the most challenging for me because I had a very clear vision of what I wanted. I spent hours trying to get it just right. I initially had my poor hubby standing on a chair outside holding up a string of lights over our flooded driveway. Although the lights produced gorgeous bokeh bubbles, it did not look anything like stars. I tried everything to get those sparkles just so, and gave up after a long effort. In the end, my guy came through for me and went on a midnight run for little sparkly stars. He's awesome! I used a BBQ grate to simulate the gutter reflection. My lighting was a very high-tech flashlight.
Happy Macro Monday!
Explored! thank you so much guys!
The former Irish Ferries Rosslare to Cherbourg/Roscoff cruise ferry leaves Belfast for a new career with GNV in the Mediterranean. Oscar Wilde was the last in a long line of Irish Ferries and Irish Continental Line vessels which operated from Rosslare to France. Her effective replacement, W.B Yeats, serves Dublin instead of Rosslare.
Oscar Wilde:
“She has not feet of clay but rather feet of porcelain and they have been through fire.”
~
Carl Jung:
“The difference between a good life and a bad life is how well you walk through the fire.”

"Eu irei ficando velho, feio, horrível. Mas este retrato se conservará eternamente jovem. Nele, nunca serei mais idoso do que neste dia de junho... Se fosse o contrário ! Se eu pudesse ser sempre moço, se o quadro envelhecesse !... Por isso, por esse milagre eu daria tudo! Sim, não há no mundo o que eu não estivesse pronto a dar em troca. Daria até a alma!"
