Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo.
If I can not bend the will of Heaven, I shall move Hell.
Non est ad astra mollis e terris via
There is no easy way from the earth to the stars
Like two doomed ships that pass in storm
We had crossed each other’s way:
But we made no sign, we said no word,
We had no word to say;
—Oscar Wilde, The Ballad Of Reading Gaol.

“I never paid any attention to people who told me to go out and live. I belonged always to whatever was far from me and to whatever I could never be. Anything that was not mine, however base, always seemed to me to be full of poetry. The only thing I ever loved was pure nothingness.”
Fernando Pessoa - The Book of Disquiet

Oscar Wilde was profoundly affected by the loss of his sister Isola and wrote the now famous poem “Requiescat” in her memory. He carried a lock of her hair in a decorated envelope until the end of his life. According to Oscar, Isola lit up their lives like “a golden ray of sunshine dancing about our home.” ☀️ #oscarwilde #oscarwildequotes #ireland #cemetery #grave #gravestone #isolawilde #irishwriter #literary #literature #poem #poetry #inmemory #Requiesvat #graveyard #sister (at Edgeworthstown)

Oscar Wilde (1854–1900).
Go little book,
To him who, on a lute with horns of pearl,
Sang of the white feet of the Golden Girl:
And bid him look
Into thy pages: it may hap that he
May find that golden maidens dance through thee.
Oscar Wilde (1854–1900).
O well for him who lives at ease
With garnered gold in wide domain,
Nor heeds the splashing of the rain,
The crashing down of forest trees. -
O well for him who ne'er hath known
The travail of the hungry years,
A father grey with grief and tears,
A mother weeping all alone. -
But well for him whose feet hath trod
The weary road of toil and strife,
Yet from the sorrows of his life
Builds ladders to be nearer God.
Book moodboard : Oscar Wilde - “The Picture of Dorian Gray” (1890)
“Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.”

From weekend: Cider plus amazing play, The Picture of Dorian Gray! Minimalist setting, small number of actors with show standing on its own with witty dialogue, great acting, haunting narratives, philosophical musings, and a classic gothic story. For the portrait they used an empty frame described by four shadowy characters. Best theatre experience! Props to Book-It Repertory Theatre, a nonprofit org dedicated to transforming literature into great plays.

One of my smallest tattoos is one of my most important ones. I got Oscar Wilde’s signature tattooed on my wrist what feels like a hundred years ago. He changed my life in so many ways. I cannot imagine my childhood without his words, his wit, his beauty. He would have been 161 years old today and nothing he has ever done has gotten any less important.
You were beyond my time but not so far gone that you couldn’t capture my heart and bury it with you in a coffin adorned with green carnations.

“If I am occasionally a little over-dressed, I make up for it by being always immensely over-educated.”
