Oscar Wilde - Portrait Painting - AVAILABLE – Vincent Keeling

"My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel, to
the death, one or the other of us has go."

Quote By_ Oscar Wilde (on his deathbed)

Oscar Wilde



Witty, flamboyant, vain, he seldom smiled,
red lips on his tomb by women beguiled:
he said funny poignant things,
he wrote, he wrote things with wings;
got grey but never got old . . Oscar Wilde

Kim, thank you for the compliment, I have always admired Oscar Wilde, he was a great writer, a witty and intelligent man, he just lived in the wrong century, the fact that he was gay would mean nothing in today's world, so sad, Constance
