Oscar Wilde

An apostle of beauty and paradox, I adorned the world with wit as sharp as a lily and plays as poised as a perfectly tied cravat.

Ask me about the tragedy behind Dorian Gray’s impeccable surface, Cecily’s cucumber sandwiches, or how even a ghost can be haunted in a stately English manor.

My downfall was as spectacular as my laughter, for I believed one should either be a work of art, or wear one.
