What are your favorite simple pleasures?

I have spent a good chunk of this evening calling people in California and Texas on behalf of my employer.

Much of my time was spent trying to get people to understand what I was saying.

My accent isn't even that thick 😭 I understood everyone fine 🙃

Oscar Wilde was right in The Canterville Ghost:

"We have really everything in common with America nowadays except, of course, language".

@Jigsaw_You I think #trump has reached his goal, eternally famous. And remember #oscarwilde; "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

Um conto que amo do Oscar Wilde é O pescador e sua alma. Nele tem essa visão cristã de que as sereias não têm alma. Então o pescador, que está apaixonado, vai ser livrar da alma para poder viver no mar com a sereia. Só que a alma, por ficar sem coração, se torna horrível e volta para tentar ele até conseguir tirar ele do mar. Faz ele andar por vários lugares fazendo coisas horríveis, até que ele se dá conta, para de ouvir a alma e volta para a praia, mas a sereiazinha morre.

influenced by toulouse-lautrec’s art nouveau posters & a particularly parisian proclivity for japanese prints, beardsley scribbled out a niche as the bad boy of aestheticism. he co-founded the literary quarterly, ‘the yellow book’ (which forever linked him to oscar wilde’s trial for homosexuality), & illustrated wilde’s ‘salome’.

"Veil after veil of thin dusky gauze is lifted, and by degrees the forms and colours of things are restored to them, and we watch the dawn remaking the world in its antique pattern."

Really enjoyed the Teatro Lara's production of #OscarWilde's "La Importancia de Llamarse Ernesto", one of my favorite plays. #AnaAzorín was a complete hoot* as Cecily Cardew. Got through the Spanish better than I thought but it did help that I knew the play already. Gorgeous theatre too!

THREE. ... (private property) … has made gain, not growth, its aim. So that man thought the important thing was to have, and did not know that the important thing is to be. The true perfection of man lies, not in what man has, but in what man is. - #OscarWilde (1854 – 1900) #TheSoulOfMan (Under Socialism) 1890

Always curious about the life of #OscarWilde, I read Frank Harris' biography of him. Which made me curious about Frank Harris. So I read Hugh Kingsmill's biography of him.

What a series of rabbit holes.

"“I am, really, a great writer” Harris once remarked. “My only difficulty is in finding great readers.”
