Oscar Wilde Sculpture in Dublin
Here he is in all his glory. Oscar Wilde in Dublin's Merrion Square Park. I did take my own photo but could not find it and had to borrow one of the many from Google Images. When I was in Dublin about six years ago, our "guide" suggested that he was in his typical drunken state. When I googled "Oscar Wilde Statue, Dublin", I found some rather nasty commentary such as "The Queer with the Leer". Oh stop you asshole homophobes! Oscar was a wonderful writer regardless of his sexual preference. I loved Dorian Grey. I also love his socks1

I did look him up earlier, Neetzy, and found this same image. I think he's wonderful - probably more like the living man than any ol' stuffy "official" sculpture would have been.
Thanks Speedway! I do love Oscar! I wish I could find the actual photo I took of him...oh well.
It'll turn up, Neetzy.
He was a true genius (as he himself had the genius to declare).
Now it's Joyce's turn. Bloomsday is upon us!
