of Oscar Wildes luminous quotes
this was his favorite
We live in an age when
unnecessary things are our only necessity
Wilde wrote it in his Picture of Dorian Gray that Lippincotts Monthly Magazine published in 1890
1890 sobering One hundred and twentysix(126)
years ago
he blatantly refashioned
it to shove Wildes keen insight down peoples throats(hoping theyd choke)
We live in an age when
unneccessarry things are our only necessity
he mused what Wilde might
have thought if he hung on until to-day and well shit October 1854
he would have had to exhibit some mindblowing serious hand strength
One hundred and sixtytwo years(162 – a nice flipflop -- some symmetry)
and why not
why shouldnt Wilde have had a shot to face down some of those Biblical characters his guess Wilde wouldnt have wasted his time begottin not that he wouldnt have been fuckin
why shouldnt Wilde have had a shot to face down some of those Biblical characters his guess Wilde wouldnt have wasted his time begottin not that he wouldnt have been fuckin
Adam stretched out for 930 years(Genesis
5:5)
Enoch 365 years(Genesis 5:23)
Methuselah 969 years(Genesis 5:27)
Hell even Noah turned 950 years old(he was 600 when he
survived The Flood and while he lived 350 years afterwards Biblical ages
successively and precipitously fell off -- Hmm)
Enosh(already) lived 905 years(Genesis 5:10)
there were obviously some heavy-hitters from Christianitys
Old Testament(mirroring the Jewish Tanakhs first book)
but to curiously top off the scoops of that Sundae with whipped cream a cherry and chopped walnuts was Irish Archbishop James Ussher who deduced in 1650 that Creation recorded in Genesis -- when the Lights came on -- happened October 23 4004 B.C. at nine o’clock in the morning while the Jews determined October 22 of that same year at six o’clock in the evening
Werent they splitting hairs
how nneccessarry was this
information(misinformation)
Fabulists he decided and confirmed his deicide liberally informed his defect and desire to retake his soul from the Roman Catholic Church that his parents thoughtlessly and carelessly deposited in their Keep
he was a Kept man long enough and
expected the Church would react to him wanting to take his soul back as the
NRA might when regarding their guns: Ill give you my gun when you pry
it from my cold dead hands
his soul wasnt his parents to
give away
he had a buddy who was born stricken
during Chicagos '53 polio epidemic whose doctors believed his death was
imminent his parents grabbed two strangers from the waitingroom outside
Delivery anointed them godparents and baptised him fearing he would die his soul unable to journey to Heaven
thats a bit extreme isnt it condemning an innocent
his buddy Bobby survived and
never challenged the Church for his soul or probably ever conceived of it
because he had his hands full growing up with his disabilities and died young
they went to Church together as teenagers but that was more for their Sunday breakfast afterwards at the House of Pies and the girls in their Sunday finery being coquettish in their presence and the prying eyes of their suspicious parents
they had too much fun ogling the
girls while their parents quietly interrogated them Do you know those boys
Who are those boys
Who are those boys
they didnt care squat it was
Sunday and furthur they didnt care because the girls they eyeballed were
primped and the prim and proper ones who no matter how goodlooking and they were
goodlooking werent in their league or would they want to be in theirs
they liked girls they could run
around with and have fun Mungo Jerry*
playmates
there was another reason he wanted his soul back
it occurred to him that his soul
might be something of a googolplex-byte memory recording that could be downloaded
or played when he croaked and by Rights it wouldnt be his not his to Play rePlay
run-back or play backwards for the thrill of it for his own delight
a magenificent consciousness--unconsciousness dvd writ by his life
a magenificent consciousness--unconsciousness dvd writ by his life
it was probably hinged on the same reason why he
wasnt leaving his body to science that some muthafucker might come along desecrate his
remains filch his skull so they could have it as a paperweight or burn
candles down on top of it as he did incited by Shakespeares Alas poor Yoricks
speech he had it down pat memorized(he was mesmerised)
"I knew him well a fellow of infinite jest of most excellent fancy He hath borne me on his back a thousand times and now how abhorred in my imagination it is My gorge rises at it Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft Where be your gibes now Your gambols Your songs Your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roar Not one now to mock your own grinning Quite chapfallen Now get you to my ladys chamber and tell her let her paint an inch thick to this favor she must come Make her laugh at that"
"I knew him well a fellow of infinite jest of most excellent fancy He hath borne me on his back a thousand times and now how abhorred in my imagination it is My gorge rises at it Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft Where be your gibes now Your gambols Your songs Your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roar Not one now to mock your own grinning Quite chapfallen Now get you to my ladys chamber and tell her let her paint an inch thick to this favor she must come Make her laugh at that"
Nope
nobody was going to rob his skull
flense him dismember him leave his arms and legs on a shelf beneath his torso laying
on a rolling dissection gurney raced up and down basement hallways by some
cretin or loser of a campus drinking game
Nope
Unneccessarry
