The Master

If, with the literate, I am
Impelled to try an epigram,
I never seek to take the credit;
We all assume that Oscar said it.
(Dorothy Parker)

Happy 154th Oscar Wilde's birthday. We are celebrating with a little Champagne and some added brittleness. I've tried to coax Mr. Muscato into a bustle, to no effect, but my own Lady Bracknell costume has won plaudits from startled onlookers.

  2. Happy Belated, Oscar.

    ...while in Paris this past June I made a point of visiting the grave of, amongst other notables, Mr Wilde.... and I'm currently re-reading 'the Picture of Dorian Gay' er I mean Gray. Dorian Gray.

    Love him.
