We had his short stories and excerpts from plays - specially remember The Happy Prince, The model millionnaire- not so much his poems  A favorite quote I have often quoted in the DB - "The old believe anything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything "- a wonderful synopsis of thought processes through age The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet : James Oppenheim | ||

this is a beautiful piece
naaku kooda gurthu ledhu
well, considering his struggle i feel it has a bit of negative observation, but then i guess, it depends on how we look at it. the world of appearances may or may not be real, or both may and may not be real - or may be indescribable; or may be real and indescribable, or unreal and indescribable; or in the end may be read and unreal and indescribable - its all Syadvada | ||

Profound yes - but not depressing to me - infact it has the exact opposite effect It was written by a man at the lowpoint in his life, in depressing circumstances - and what came out was an introspective journey to realisation, a consolidation of who he truly is and a triumph of the spirit It is an uplifting piece of writing once I look beyond the circusmtancesThe foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet : James Oppenheim | ||

Very wise observation. "lives a mimicry" - is that a pessimistic/negative observation? or positive?

We must not forget that we have to teach a great lesson to the world... religion and philosophy..." - Swami Vivekananda | ||

MS, I have read the poem and some of his short stories(in high school) - don't recall myuch of the poem except that it was a very dark introspective one.. as opposed to his short stories that I read - however there is an essay he wrote in jail that is my favorite- De Profundis - very thought-provoking.. Yeah his life would have been different if he lived today - he definitely would not have gone to jail or written this poem and maybe not the essay ..The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet : James Oppenheim | ||

ohati ani emi ledhu.. its about a guy who murdered his wife, and wilde is in the same prison as the murderer. his observations on that guy, law, and actions that may or may not qualify as crimes, based on societal acceptance. when he says coward does it with a kiss, he means the kiss of judas. essentially leading to a crime. a soldier with a sword, where he is killing to save a life he loves. ala anna maata... naaku full grasp ledhi, motham poem meedha, but its interesting to read, and sadvina kodhi kotha konam lo ardham avutha undhi the world of appearances may or may not be real, or both may and may not be real - or may be indescribable; or may be real and indescribable, or unreal and indescribable; or in the end may be read and unreal and indescribable - its all Syadvada | ||

would his life been any different if he was born in this era ? Ballad of reading gaol sadavandi veelu unappudu... And all men kill the thing they love, By all let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word, The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword! fave qoute of his - Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. the world of appearances may or may not be real, or both may and may not be real - or may be indescribable; or may be real and indescribable, or unreal and indescribable; or in the end may be read and unreal and indescribable - its all Syadvada |
