His hair was bright and wavy; the ruddiness of health suffused his cheeks; his eyes sparkled with wholesome fun, good humour, and high thoughts. He was the sort of boy who makes the world seem jolly even when the east wind blows. Goodness and merriment radiated from him visibly; the darkest room appeared to glow and brighten when he entered it. What a pity such a glorious creature should ever grow old, sighed Wilde.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oscar Wilde: Fragments and Memories Arly in the nineties Clyde Fitch, an ambitious young American, had a play produced in London.\ After the final curtain some rowdies in the pit coaxed the inexperienced playwright to appear before the footlights and proceeded to boo and hiss him off as soon as he stepped in view. But the young man was not crushed. They will have to applaud me yet, he exclaimed, and his subsequent meteoric career proved that he had fine talents. At that time, however, there were few in London who would listen to his verses, stories, and plays, and fewer still tobuy them. In a notebook of the period we find him paraphrasing an ancient pessimistic troubadour, My fate is like the nightingale's, That singeth all night long, While still the woodlands mournfully But echo back his song.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bibliography of Oscar Wilde The author of this astonishing and ingenious compilation has asked me to write an introduction, not because he imagines that I know anything about bibliography, but because he wishes for the imprimatur of Wilde's Literary Executor. Pius the Ninth, when invited to assist the sale of a certain writer's book, promised to put it on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. The kindest act which I could do for Mr. Stuart Mason would be to injunct the result of his toil on the ground that he or his publishers had committed some breach of the Copyright Laws. This would have tempted the dealer in unauthorised literature, who would, I am sure, have invested at once in what might promise to become "curious" and "scarce." But Mr. Mason has pedantically observed all the principles of the Berne and Berlin Conventions and those other conventions which have no other authority than courtesy. I cannot pretend to have read his book through; but I can affirm that in turning over the proofs for ten minutes I learned more about Wilde's writings than Wilde himself ever knew. As one of Stevenson's heroes said of Whitakerf I acquired more information than I shall be able to make use of in a lifetime. From one point of view these pages afford me peculiar pleasure.

One may wonder whether it were not the high fates who so gratified him in order that, from his purgatory, he might rise to a life more evolved. But that view is perhaps obvious. Wilde himself, who was the least mystic of men, accepted it. In the De Pro fundis, after weighing his disasters, he said Of these things I am not yet worthy.

I had not the con solation of following to the nameless grave the lonely hearse which had no flowers on its pall. But, as many hundreds of miles away, I read of his solitary death, and heard of the supreme abandonment of him by those to whom also he had always been good, I determined to say all the things that I knew of him, to tell people what he really was, so that my story might help a little to a better understanding of a man of rare heart and rarer genius.

I wish simply to ask the reader to judge for himself and see if he can not find in what is here presented to him a justification for their preservation. Society, as we have constituted it, will have no place for me, has none to offer; but Nature, whose sweet rains fall on unjust and just alike, will have clefts in the rock where I may hide, and sweet valleys in whose silence I may weep undisturbed. She will hang the night with stars so that I may walk abroad in the darkness without stumbling, and send the wind over my footprints so that none may track me to my hurt; she will cleanse me in great waters, and with bitterness make me whole.
