1902ref. 140214Washington: Snohomish 1902. First edition of Wilde's classic Hellenic poem. Octavo original boards illustrated with engravings and hand painted initials embellished in gilt frontispiece by John Dennis Clancy. In very good condition. Wilde’s “theme is not as is often supposed art’s divorce from life but its inescapable arraignment by experience. His creative works almost always end in unmasking. The hand that adjusts the green carnation suddenly shakes an admonitory finger. While the ultimate virtue in Wilde’s essays is in make-believe the denouement of his dramas and narratives is that masks have to go. We must acknowledge what we are. Wilde at least was keen to do so. Though he offered himself as the apostle of pleasure his created world contains much pain” Ellmann xvi. Snohomish hardcover
