Sure, Oscar could work– BUT– he could play! He could even play in a sadly forgotten spirited way.
Not in a Mary Poppins, unforgiven, “spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down” display,
Not in a Victorian
Thing was, Oscar saw potential in the Victorian dismay.
Did Julie Andrews have nose “work” done? She wrote this song!
No, Oscar did not want to give in to Queen Victoria, or Prince Alpert in a can.
Queen Victoria died on January 22, 1901.
Oscar died on November 30, 1900.
Nietzshe died August 9, 1900.
Oscar Fingal O’Fflahertie Wills Wilde didn’t want a spoonful of sugar make the medicine go down. He wanted there to be no sickness. No disease. Medicine, not necessary. Spoonful of sugar? Loving spoonful? Heap of love, welcoming celebration of love and sugar! Queen Victoria in her virginal, and post virginal, ragtime, rattatatta English ermine, no imported though important India-derived English breakfast tea time, of , even of Ceylon, or is it Sri Lanka, or a Tamil Tiger.
