Pluma, l�piz y veneno

by Oscar Wilde

Overview

A menudo, la gente reprocha a los escritores y artistas que sólo sean hombres de acción de un modo imperfecto e incompleto. Y sin embargo, es muy normal que así sea. Esa concentración del pensamiento, ese ardor vehemente que caracterizan el temperamento del artista, excluyen a la fuerza las otras cualidades. Para aquellos a quienes viven preocupados por la belleza de la forma no existe ya nada más en el mundo que tenga verdadera importancia.

About the Author

The ever-quotable Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet who delighted Victorian England with his legendary wit. He found critical and popular success with his scintillating plays, chiefly The Importance of Being Earnest, while his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, scandalized readers. Imprisoned for two years for homosexual behavior, Wilde moved to France after his release, where he died destitute.
