Decline and Fall

THE DECLINE AND FALL OF JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING, MY DEAR 

Lord Henry Wotton: "I like persons 
better than principles and persons 
with no principles better than 
anything at all.”—Oscar Wilde
THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY

I love the way Miss Wilde—
Ho-hums the Decline and Fall
of Just About Everything, my dears

“I could have saved it” she said—
there in Paris after the tres tacky
British Affair of the Gay Scandal

Looking back now how can we—
not weep for the Great Chance of
the Twentieth Century we lost?

How many lost Wilde boyz—
in that Uranian moment of the
Male Muse gone forever?
