Deaf-Mute• Show poetry

I will post what ever I can think of but I am not very consistent. It may be months between posts. Sometimes I will be on a lot and sometimes I won't be on for weeks. I have a lot going on in my life and usually have to balance four or five things at once. I have seen and been through more things then most people can imagine. I'd tell about them but you wouldn't believe me. Some of them might slip out in my writing but you would have to know me longer then anyone else to know what has come to pass and what will come to pass. Only those looking for answers can be deceived.


"The artist is the creator of beautiful things.
      To reveal art and conceal the artist is art’s aim.
The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.
   The highest as the lowest form of criticism is a mode of    
   autobiography.
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things in are corrupt without
Being charming. This is a fault.
    Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the
    cultivated. For these there is hope.
They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty.
     There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well
     written or badly written. That is all.
The nineteenth century dislike of Realism is the rage of Caliban seeing
his own face in a glass.
                    The nineteenth century dislike of Romanticism is
                    rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass.
  The moral life of man forms part of the subject-matter of the artist,
  but the morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect
  medium.
No artist desires to prove anything. Even things that are true can be proved.
    No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist
    in an unpardonable mannerism of style.
       No artist is ever morbid the artist can express everything.
    Thought and language are to the artist instruments of an art.
        Vice and virtue are to the artist materials for art.
From the poin of view of form, the type of all the arts is the art of the musician. From the point of view of feeling, the actor's craft is the type.
                 All art is at once surface and symbol.
          Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril.
          Those who read the symbol do so at their peril.
It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.
   Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that work is new,
   complex, and vital.
        When critics disagree the artist is in accord with himself.
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he dose not
Admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires
it intensely.
All art is quite useless."
-Oscar Wilde
