An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde (1969 TV) -- part 1 a fine production featuring charming performances by Margaret Leighton and Jeremy Brett. Jeremy Brett (born Peter Jeremy William Huggins November 3, 1933 -- died heart attack September 12, 1995), was an English actor most famous for his portrayal of the detective Sherlock Holmes on TV. His excellent pronunciation and enunciation, given extra practice (even for an actor) due to a childhood speech impediment (listen to him roll those rrrrs!), is on fine display here.

ATHANASIA' by Oscar Wilde ATHANASIA by Oscar Wilde read by sean Barrett O that gaunt House of Art which lacks for naught Of all the great things men have saved from Time, The withered body of a girl was brought Dead ere the world's glad youth had touched its prime, And seen by lonely Arabs lying hid In the dim womb of some black pyramid. But when they had unloosed the linen band Which swathed the Egyptian's body,--lo! was found Closed in the wasted hollow of her hand A little seed, which sown in English ground Did wondrous snow of starry blossoms bear And spread rich odours through our spring-tide air. With such strange arts this flower did allure That all forgotten was the asphodel, And the brown bee, the lily's paramour, Forsook the cup where he was wont to dwell, For not a thing of earth it seemed to be, But stolen from some heavenly Arcady. In vain the sad narcissus, wan and white At its own beauty, hung across the stream, The purple dragon-fly had no delight With its gold dust to make his wings a-gleam, Ah! no delight the jasmine-bloom to kiss, Or brush the rain-pearls from the eucharis. For love of it the passionate nightingale Forgot the hills of Thrace, the cruel king, And the pale dove no longer cared to sail Through the wet woods at time of blossoming, But round this flower of Egypt sought to float, With silvered wing and amethystine throat. While the hot sun blazed in his tower of blue A cooling wind crept from the land of snows, And the warm south with tender tears of dew Drenched its white leaves when Hesperos up-rose Amid those sea-green meadows of the sky On which the scarlet bars of sunset lie. But when o'er wastes of lily-haunted field The tired birds had stayed their amorous tune, And broad and glittering like an argent shield High in the sapphire heavens hung the moon, Did no strange dream or evil memory make Each tremulous petal of its blossoms shake? Ah no! to this bright flower a thousand years Seemed but the lingering of a summer's day, It never knew the tide of cankering fears Which turn a boy's gold hair to withered grey, The dread desire of death it never knew, Or how all folk that they were born must rue. For we to death with pipe and dancing go, Now would we pass the ivory gate again, As some sad river wearied of its flow Through the dull plains, the haunts of common men, Leaps lover-like into the terrible sea! And counts it gain to die so gloriously. We mar our lordly strength in barren strife With the world's legions led by clamorous care, It never feels decay but gathers life From the pure sunlight and the supreme air, We live beneath Time's wasting sovereignty, It is the child of all eternity.

Oscar Wilde "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" Poem animation Heres a virtual movie of Oscar Wilde reading a stanza of his poem "The Ballad of Reading Gaol". The audio part of this virtual movie was supposedly recorded whilst Oscar Wilde was living in Paris at a stand dedicated to the inventions of the great Thomas Edison in the American paviliion at the International Exposition in Paris in 1900, though many experts consider this recording to be a forgery. despite the scepticism and debate surrounding this fascinating piece of audible historiana perhaps we can for a few moments suspend any disbelief and believe it to be the nearest we shall ever get to hearing the actual voice of this brilliant and much celebrated man. Kind Regards Jim Clark All rights are reserved on this video recording copyright Jim Clark 2008 In Reading gaol by Reading town There is a pit of shame, And in it lies a wretched man Eaten by teeth of flame, In burning winding-sheet he lies, And his grave has got no name.

An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde (1969 TV) -- part 3/8 a fine production featuring charming performances by Margaret Leighton and Jeremy Brett. Margaret Leighton ... Mrs. Cheveley Keith Michell ... Sir Robert Chiltern Jeremy Brett ... Vicount Goring Dinah Sheridan ... Lady Chiltern Vincent Canby wrote (1996): The play is set in the familiar Wildean milieu of grand Belgravia houses where, toward the end of the London season, dowagers, dukes, dandies, unmarried daughters and adventuresses meet to sip tea, exchange gossip, flirt and, in this play, become not quite hopelessly embroiled in politics and blackmail. Among other things, "An Ideal Husband" is about money and the power it confers. It's also about a kind of frigid English rectitude, mostly public but sometimes private, that can be as immoral as insider trading or the theft of a diamond brooch, both of which are important in Wilde's marvelously convoluted narrative. Over the years critics have chided Wilde for using such melodramatic devices, commonplace in the popular theater of the day, as if a playwright of his talent should be above such tricks. Yet "An Ideal Husband" is deliriously funny in part because it is sending up these conventions even as it's using them with skill and relish. Here's a well-made play that satisfies for being so well made that one scarcely notices how subversive it really is. Lest we miss that point, the centerpiece of Mr. Hall's physical production is a giant reproduction of a burnished Victorian penny. Engraved on it: the left profile of the old Queen who dominated her age apparently by not seeing or being seen. At the beginning and end of each act, this Victoria descends in her majesty to stare off into the wings, oblivious, unloving and seemingly forever. What's happening on the stage would not amuse her.

OSCAR WILDE L'Amore che non osa pronunciare il suo nome Dal film "Wilde" di Brian Gilbert (1997) con Stephen Fry e Jude Law. Nel 1892 Oscar Wilde viene presentato ad uno studente di Oxford, lord Alfred Douglas detto Bosie. Tra i due comincia una relazione appassionata e burrascosa che porta Oscar a frequentare il giro delle case con ragazzi a pagamento, trascurando moglie e figli non senza sofferenza e sensi di colpa. Il padre di Bosie si oppone a questa scandalosa relazione, minaccia il figlio che a sua volta convince Oscar a denunciare il padre per diffamazione. Ma l'uomo reagisce e, essendo l'omosessualità illegale, trascina Oscar in tribunale. Dichiarato colpevole, Oscar viene condannato a due anni di lavori forzati. In un primo momento del processo, il pubblico ministero Carson concentra l'interrogatorio sulla personalità artistica dello scrittore. Carson cerca di "incastrare" Wilde costringendolo ad ammettere pubblicamente di sostenere e incoraggiare opere "immorali". Allo scopo, Carson tira in ballo lo scabroso racconto "Il prete e il chierichetto", di J.F. Bloxham. Il racconto, infatti, è pubblicato sul "Chameleon", una rivista di studenti che pubblica nello stesso numero il saggio di Wilde "Frasi e filosofie ad uso dei giovani". Quello che segue è un estratto degli atti del processo. Breve, ma significativo. E, soprattutto, di estrema attualità a un secolo di distanza. CARSON: Lei ha letto "Il prete e il chierichetto"? WILDE: Sì. CARSON: Non dubita che quello fosse un racconto sconveniente? WILDE: Dal punto di vista letterario era altamente sconveniente. Per uno che si occupi di letteratura è impossibile giudicarlo diversamente. Per "letteratura" intendo il trattamento, la scelta del tema e così via. Giudicai pessima la forma e pessimo il soggetto. CARSON: Se non sbaglio lei è dell'idea che non esistano libri immorali. WILDE: Infatti. CARSON: Posso concludere che per lei "Il prete e il chierichetto" non era uno scritto immorale? WILDE: Era peggio che immorale. Era scritto male. CARSON: Non era la storia di un prete che si innamora di un ragazzo che lo aiuta all'altare, che viene poi scoperto da un curato nella stanza del prete con conseguente scandalo? WILDE: L'ho letto una volta sola, lo scorso novembre, e per niente al mondo lo rileggerei. Non mi piace. Non mi interessa. CARSON: Lei ritiene il racconto blasfemo? WILDE: Ritengo che abbia violato ogni canone di bellezza artistica. [...] CARSON: Risponda alla domanda, signore. Considerò il racconto blasfemo o no? WILDE: Lo reputai disgustoso. CARSON: Capisco. Lo sa che nel racconto quando il prete dà il veleno al ragazzo pronuncia le parole della consacrazione del rito anglicano? WILDE: L'avevo completamente dimenticato. CARSON: E questo non lo considera blasfemo? WILDE: A me sembra orribile. "Blasfemo" non appartiene al mio vocabolario. [...] CARSON: Ho ragione se dico che lei non si preoccupa degli effetti morali o immorali che un'opera può produrre? WILDE: Giusto, è così. [...] Quando scrivo una commedia o un libro, mi occupo esclusivamente di letteratura. Cioè di arte. Non mi propongo di fare del bene o del male, ma di cercare di creare una cosa che abbia un certo grado di bellezza. CARSON: "Se si dice la verità si è sicuri, prima o poi, di essere scoperti". [...] E' una massima buona per i giovani? WILDE: Qualsiasi cosa stimoli a pensare è buona, a qualunque età. CARSON: Che sia morale o immorale? WILDE: Moralità e immoralità non esistono per il pensiero. Riguardano l'emozione. [...] CARSON: Cito dalla sua introduzione a "Dorian Gray": "Non esistono libri morali o immorali come crede la maggior parte della gente. I libri sono scritti bene o scritti male." Questo esprime la sua opinione sull'arte? WILDE: La mia opinione sull'arte? Sì. CARSON: Ne deduco che quando un libro è scritto bene, per quanto immorale possa essere, secondo lei è un bel libro? WILDE: Sì, se è scritto così bene da suscitare un sentimento di bellezza, che è il sentimento più alto che un essere umano possa provare. Se fosse scritto male, provocherebbe una sensazione di disgusto. CARSON: Allora un libro scritto bene, ma che sostenga principi morali corrotti, potrebbe essere un buon libro? WILDE: Nessun'opera d'arte sostiene mai dei princìpi. I principi appartengono a chi non è artista. CARSON: Un romanzo corrotto potrebbe essere un buon libro? WILDE: Non so cosa intenda lei per "romanzo corrotto". CARSON: Posso dire allora che "Dorian Gray" si presta a essere considerato tale? WILDE: Solo da parte di bruti e illetterati. Le opinioni dei filistei in arte sono di una imbecillità incalcolabile. CARSON: Un illetterato che leggesse "Dorian Gray" potrebbe considerarlo corrotto? WILDE: Le opinioni degli illetterati sull'arte sono bizzarre. Io mi occupo soltanto delle mie opinioni sull'arte. Di quello che pensano gli altri non mi importa un accidente.

OSCAR WILDE ' ENDYMION ' Endymion by Oscar Wilde read by Sean Barrett THE apple trees are hung with gold, And birds are loud in Arcady, The sheep lie bleating in the fold, The wild goat runs across the wold, But yesterday his love he told, I know he will come back to me. O rising moon! O Lady moon! Be you my lover's sentinel, You cannot choose but know him well, For he is shod with purple shoon, You cannot choose but know my love, For he a shepherd's crook doth bear, And he is soft as any dove, And brown and curly is his hair. The turtle now has ceased to call Upon her crimson-footed groom, The grey wolf prowls about the stall, The lily's singing seneschal Sleeps in the lily-bell, and all The violet hills are lost in gloom. O risen moon! O holy moon! Stand on the top of Helice, And if my own true love you see, Ah! if you see the purple shoon, The hazel crook, the lad's brown hair, The goat-skin wrapped about his arm, Tell him that I am waiting where The rushlight glimmers in the Farm. The falling dew is cold and chill, And no bird sings in Arcady, The little fauns have left the hill, Even the tired daffodil Has closed its gilded doors, and still My lover comes not back to me. False moon! False moon! O waning moon! Where is my own true lover gone, Where are the lips vermilion, The shepherd's crook, the purple shoon? Why spread that silver pavilion, Why wear that veil of drifting mist? Ah! thou hast young Endymion, Thou hast the lips that should be kissed!

Wilde (Oscar Wilde) 1997 The movie in English - Part 1 - 12 Part 1 of 12 Director: Brian Gilbert Synopis: Based on the best-selling biography by Richard Ellman, this unconventional biopic traces the brilliant, witty, and tragic life of Oscar Wilde from his rise to fame as a much-in-demand author and public speaker to his downfall and ultimate imprisonment for homosexuality. Irish-born and homosexual, Wilde (Stephen Fry, in a critically lauded performance) nevertheless takes a loving wife (Jennifer Ehle), with whom he has children. While married, he becomes aware of his true sexual identity after a chance encounter with an aggressive house guest. This leads to a very public affair with vain, rebellious young Lord Alfred Douglas (Jude Law), the son of the Marquess of Queensbury (Tom Wilkinson, IN THE BEDROOM). Despite an astoundingly successful writing career, Wilde's private life lands him in prison for "gross indecency," a synonym for homosexual behavior, which was illegal in England at the time.

La princesa y el enano by Oscar Wilde (cuento de Tesis) Dedicado a bichejo Había una vez una princesa que vivía en un palacio muy grande. El día en que cumplía trece años hubo una gran fiesta, con trapecistas, magos, payasos..... Pero la princesa se aburría. Entonces, apareció un enano, un enano muy feo que daba brincos y hacía piruetas en el aire. El enano fue todo un acontecimiento. Bravo, Bravo, decía la princesa aplaudiendo y sin dejar de reír, y el enano,contagiado de su alegría, saltaba y saltaba, hasta que cayó al suelo rendido. "Sigue saltando, por favor" dijo la princesa. Pero el enano ya no podía más. La princesa se puso triste y se retiró a sus aposentos..... Al rato, el enano, orgulloso de haber agradado a la princesa, decidió ir a buscarla, convencido de que ella se iría a vivir con él al bosque. "Ella no es feliz aquí" pensaba el enano. "Yo la cuidaré y la haré reír siempre". El enano recorrió el palacio, buscando la habitación de la princesa, pero al llegar a uno de los salones vio algo horrible. Ante él había un monstruo que lo miraba con ojos torcidos y sanguinolentos, con unas manos peludas y unos pies enormes. El enano quiso morirse cuando se dio cuenta de que aquel monstruo era él mismo, reflejado en un espejo. En ese momento entró la princesa con su séquito. "Ah estas aquí, qué bien, baila otra vez para mí, por favor". Pero el enano estaba tirado en el suelo y no se movía. El médico de la corte se acercó a él y le tomó el pulso. "Ya no bailará más para vos, princesa" le dijo. "¿Por qué?" preguntó la princesa. "Porque se le ha roto el corazón". Y la princesa contestó: "De ahora en adelante, que todos los que vengan a palacio no tengan corazón". Oscar Wilde. Tags: cuento tesis jesus84hds wilde enanoyla princesa |

Lady Markby Magda Miller ... Lady Basildon Penelope Lee ... Mrs. Marchmont Michel Fauré ... Vicomte de Nanjac Erik Chitty ... Phipps Raymond Graham ... Mason Bernard Shaw defended Oscar Wilde in 1895, when critics went after "An Ideal Husband". Shaw wrote in "The Saturday Review" (January 12) that the critics assumption that Wilde's "epigrams can be turned out by the score by any one light-minded enough to condescend to such frivolity. As far as I can ascertain, I am the only person in London who cannot sit down and write an Oscar Wilde play at will.... In a certain sense Mr. Wilde is to me our only thorough playwright. He plays with everything: with wit, with philosophy, with drama, with actors and audience, with the whole theatre". Tags: Oscar Wilde Ideal Husband Margaret Leighton Jeremy Brett |
