Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde | Richard Ellmann
The biography sensitive to the tragic pattern of the story of a great subject: Oscar Wilde - psychologically and sexually complicated, enormously quotable, central to a alluring cultural world and someone whose life assumed an unbearably dramatic shape.

And finally (sorry)..
Our elopement and mini honeymoon was perfect. Fred let me decide where we would stay the night we got married, so I chose the White Gate Inn. Partially because it looked beautiful and cozy, but mostly because every room was named after a writer. 😂 This suite was lovely. I want to go to the Walt Whitman or Robert Frost rooms next!

TricksyTails Congratulations! 🎉 7y

"Work is the curse of the drinking classes"

??Before and after of my labors this past long weekend. One deck and one old green rusty patio set made presentable again.

elliemcc11 Great work! Looks fab! So wish we had a garden big enough for anything like this - we have a small patio but not space for decking unfortunately. Hope you enjoy lots of lovely meals out there 😁 7y

Jess_Read_This @elliemcc11 Thanks, Ellie! 7y
Cathythoughts Oscar Wilde has some beautiful fairy stories. Do you know them, The Selfish Giant, The Happy Prince & many more. All poignant & wounding as only Oscar Wilde can be. 7y
Cathythoughts Great work in your garden 👍 7y
Jess_Read_This @Cathythoughts I haven't read them all, but I have read The Happy Prince! I just picked up a pretty children's story book of his last month. You said it perfectly- poignant and wounding! 7y
Jess_Read_This @Cathythoughts Thank you!! 💕 7y

🌟I don't know if this biography of #oscarwilde is the longest book I own, but it's pretty darn long. Even though it's so long I'm hoping to read it sometime this year!🌟#biography #nonfiction

AngelErin @CouronneDhiver Thanks! I do too.😀😀 8y
