The Bullshit That Really Matters..

Goal of each day:
Upload a photo that I've edited.

Feeling rather productive and I have got some art projects in mind: involving lace, feathers, beads, paint, and a hot glue gun. Photos will follow. 

Current Literary Muse: Oscar Wilde
 



A production of The Importance of Being Earnest hits Broadway on December 20.
After the original comic play about prevalent human desires was skewed via film, one can hope that the play stays true to Wilde's tour de force. 

His writing, "...entwines style, illicit sexuality, and the classical exaltation of form above all things..."


In modern day, he believed we, "...prefer music to meaning and melody to reality..."
As a flamboyant fame-seeker, Wilde's writing took on a tone more coherent with music, as well as following Greek standards.

                     "To be Greek one should have no clothes: 
                      to be mediaeval one should have no body: 
                       to be modern one should have no soul."

Human and historic trends repeat, as Wilde surmises.
