RE: Daily Inspiration #67 - Oscar Wilde - Science
I once heard about his influence of literary work when I was still in university. Arresting did not make him stop producing his creative mind. That we have to learn, place and time is not a reason to make us quit. Thank for sharing. Nice to read it!
Thanks for that input, it made me go refresh what I thought I knew about him lol. Great to learn more!
After a bit of research, this is what I discovered...
He did continue to write, well in fact. Yet not for long. Being released in may of 1897, it was still within 1897 or just into 1898 that he was quoted saying "I can write, but have lost the joy of writing". Shortly after was noted for being the town drunk and fell far, finally dying it 1900 (much to do with the health issues he'd adopted from incarceration).
My point is definitely not to harm his name, he was a fine author that dealt with a large tragedy. It's only to spark inspiration in those that have or are currently imprisoned, be it their mind or physically. To show them that it is our choice how we take things we experience. We can let our experiences get the best of us or we can make the best of them. Something I myself am living proof of.
