Images from the Wicklow Mountains...a recent trip to Dublin Ireland

Dublin the place of Guinness, leprechauns, laughter and... the Wicklow Mountains!
is also the birth place of  poet and writer Oscar Wilde; whose capacity to understand the human condition is so perceptively recorded through his timeless words of humour, wit and irony.

Oscar Fingall O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in Dublin in 1854. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford where, a disciple of Pater, he founded an aesthetic cult. (Find more on Amazon)

Oscar Wilde Quotes

 “Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.”
- Oscar Wilde (1)
 
“The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed anonymously-and have somebody find out.”
- Oscar Wilde(1)

 
“The only good thing to do with good advice is pass it on; it is never of any use to oneself.”
- Oscar Wilde(1)

 
“Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.”

Having travelled to Dubin a number of times now over the last few years I never lose delight in experiencing the timeless beauty of its countryside and the heritage of Dublin's fascinating culture steeped in music, theatre, myths, legends, poetry, and the arts.
The photo images below were taken on the Wicklow Mountains ...

when the flowers are all dead- Oscar Wilde.(2)
