<p>Ah the divine Oscar!</p>
<p>My favorite Wilde anecdote. As a requirement of his undergraduate degree, Wilde had to translate a portion of the Christian New Testament from Old Greek into English. He was assigned Christ’s Last Supper.</p>
<p>After completing several paragraph’s, his examiner told Wilde that he was satisfied with what Wilde had translated. Wilde replied, "Oh do let me finish. I want to see how it ends!" :)</p>

<p>I love it! Pure genius!</p>
<p>I am so sorry but I had absolutely no time during the few days I was in Amman to meet up! I guess I thought I was Superwoman, when in reality, I’m just a normal girl. I saw your picture in your previous post about Viva magazine, and you look absolutely beautiful. What a fetching picture! Mabrook. </p>

LAAAAAAISH!!!!!!! Ok, ok, I completely understand where Mr. Wilde is coming from, and yes, keeping up with ever-changing fashion trends is ridiculous and dumb and just not gonna happen on most of our budgets, but hey, I love fashion! I do! I admit it! Some of it might be ugly, but some of it sure is gorgeous. Gotta have that, and that, and that one over there, and oh my God look at that, gotta get that, and that one too, and oh oh, uuuuuhhhh…….it’s declined? Are you sure? I just got that credit card…..can you try again? No? uuuuhhhhh……I think it’s time to go home!

<p>Mona,</p>
<p>Positively accurate. It seems there is nothing one can keep track with these days. It’s all too fast.</p>
<p>Peter S., I am an avowed fan of Wilde. He is extremely witty, and his words never cease to amaze and perplex. His wordplay is the finest. Lovely anecdote,thank you for sharing.</p>
<p>Lulu, thank you for the kindness my friend. Have no worries, I totally understand.</p>
<p>Sabri, I have said this previously and I will say it again: I am psychic.</p>
<p>Hala, your comment is lovely to read. I felt as if I was watching a scene live in front of my eyes, such playfulness!</p>

<p>Last quote from Wilde:</p>
<p>"Beauty is a form of Genius."</p>
<p>I recommend the biographical film, "Wilde" <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120514/">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120514/</a> and the excellent biography by Richard Ellmann.</p>
