He was an incredible writer and that is how he should be remembered. His stories, poems and quotes are always being told. So incredibly gifted.

Read his poem, 'The ballad of Reading Jail' , it is one of the saddest poems I know: "But all who lie in prison know, is that its walls are strong , And that each day is like a year, a year whose days are long".

Oscar Wilde should not have gone Jonney less with another Man, and for that reason he went to Prison. I feel sorry for Mr Wildes wife and Children.
