Walt Whitman and Emerson are the poets who have given the world more than anyone else. Perhaps Whitman is not so widely read in England, but England never appreciates a poet until he is dead.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Only people who look dull ever get into the House of Commons, and only people who are dull ever succeed there.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I think you are wrong, Basil,...

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

every portrait that is painte...

every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Oh! it is absurd to have a ha...

Oh! it is absurd to have a hard-and-fast rule about what one should read and what one shouldn't. More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn't read.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

All the spring may be hidden ...

All the spring may be hidden in the single bud, and the low ground nest of the lark may hold the joy that is to herald the feet of many rose-red dawns.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I tremble with pleasure when ...

I tremble with pleasure when I think that on the very day of my leaving prison both the laburnum and the lilac will be blooming in the gardens, and that I shall see the wind stir into restless beauty the swaying gold of the one, and make the other toss the pale purple of its plumes, so that all the air shall be Arabia for me.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Truth in art is the unity of ...

Truth in art is the unity of a thing with itself: the outward rendered expressive of the inward: the soul made incarnate: the body instinct with spirit. For this reason there is no truth comparable to sorrow.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Salom?, Salom?, dance for me....

Salom?, Salom?, dance for me. I pray thee dance for me. I am sad to-night. Yes, I am passing sad to-night. When I came hither I slipped in blood, which is an evil omen; and I heard, I am sure I heard in the air a beating of wings, a beating of giant wings. I cannot tell what they mean .... I am sad to-night. Therefore dance for me. Dance for me, Salom?, I beseech you. If you dance for me you may ask of me what you will, and I will give it you, even unto the half of my kingdom.

She lives the poetry she cannot write.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Niagara Falls is simply a vast unnecessary amount of water going over the wrong way and then falling over unnecessary cliffs...The wonder would be if the water did not fall.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Words! Mere words! How terrib...

Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them! They seemed to be able to give a plastic form to formless things, and to have a music of their own as sweet as that of viol or of lute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as words?

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The artist is the creator of ...

The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim.
