Oscar Wilde(1854~1900)
I was a man who stood in symbolic relations to the art and culture of my age…The godshad given me almost everything. I had genius, a distinguished name, high social position,brilliancy, intellectual daring; I made art a philosophy, and philosophy an art: I altered theminds of men and the colour of things: there was nothing I said or did that did not makepeople wonder…I treated Art as the supreme reality, and life as a mere mode of fiction: Iawoke the imagination of my century so that it created myth and legend around me: Isummed up all systems in a phrase, and all existence in an epigram. De Profundis

I am not English, I am Irish—which is quite another thing.
