I don't think his face is as pronounced as George and I never saw him wear a hat. Isn't it nice too know your readers see something different.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0WOIwlXE9gLena O' Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13967703272517967545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1590980640397561218.post-89198393713478236252010-10-28T07:19:44.745+01:002010-10-28T07:19:44.745+01:00Jason, Thank you and hopefully we'll see you a...Jason, Thank you and hopefully we'll see you around here again soon.

Which is really wonderfuland true.<br /><br />Yes, Oscar's big mùstake was the libel charge he brought against Queensbury. To proove libel he had to proove he wasn't homosexual. have you ever reaf the transcripts to the trial? Really fascinating. A small moment where we can really see Wilde for ourselves and how he responds immediately to question put to him. I think it's probably the most insightful, personal, documentation there is. And it was a huge shame, because at one point he seemed to have wooed everyone and the prosecution was a laughing stock. And then he said about 'not kissing ugly boys'. Et voilà: Reading, calais, France, Dead and not even via the scenic route from what I've read.<br /><br />Wilde has a strange place in me. He's not an influence (literary) on me as an adult, but he influenced my late teens and early twenties to such an extent that I suppose he is forever somewhere in what I do. It's nice in that way and fitting for who he was. In that way he kind of does have eternal youth, for most writers become impassioned by him at a young age and he lives youth again through them in the present. Still he's the only writer I've read the entire life works of.
