The Bomb Thoughts Are Met with Police Bludgeons.”He Was Almost Beside Himself with Excitement and Anger
was suffering from concussion of the brain, and would notbe able to get about again for months. The dreadful affair seemed to have excited Spies’ courage and strengthened his resolution. “Shameful, shameful,” he kept on saying. “For the first time in America orderly meetings on vacant lots are dispersed by force. The Bomb Thoughts are met with police bludgeons.”He was almost beside himself with excitement and anger. On my way out I stopped in the outer office to say a word or Frank Harris two to the cashier, and as I went into the outside waiting-room I met Raben. “What!” I cried, “you here in Chicago?” He told me he had been in Chicago some time. “Come out,” I went on, “and let me give you a German meal like the one you gave me in New York. Do you remember? There’s a lot to talk about.” “There is,” he said. “You people in Chicago are making his- tory. I have been sent by ‘The New York Herald’ to write up these strikes of yours.” His air of triumph was amusing. His connection with the well-known paper increased his self- importance. As we went out together I noticed with some satisfaction that my accent in American was now better than his. I spoke like an American, whereas any one could see that he was a German. Elsie had done me a lot of good. Besides, my reading of the English writers and the articles I had already written in English had given me a larger vocabulary and a greater control of English than he could pretend to. -

Oscar Wilde and Modern Culture
Bristow INTRO:Layout 1 11/19/08 7:28 PM Page 1 JOSEPH BRISTOW A Reuter telegram from Paris states that Oscar Wilde died there yester- day afternoon from meningitis. The melancholy end to a career which once promised so well is stated to have come in an obscure hotel of the Latin Quarter. Here the once brilliant man of letters was living, exiled from his country and from the society of his countrymen. The verdict that a jury passed upon his conduct at the Old Bailey in May 1895, de- stroyed for ever his reputation, and condemned him to ignoble obscu- rity for the remainder of his days. When he had served his sentence of two years’ imprisonment, he was broken in health as well as bankrupt in fame and fortune. Death has soon ended what must have been a life of wretchedness and unavailing regret. —Unsigned obituary, London Times, 1 December 1900 ust before the end of the nineteenth century, Oscar Wilde died in trying Jcircumstances, as unsympathetic obituaries in the British press were prompt to note. To the London Times, Wilde’s demise from an infection of brain tissue at age forty-six did not come soon enough. How could a man who suffered such degradation continue a life that was anything other than shameful and remorse- ful? How could this once-fêted author ever have stood again before the public with any measure of dignity? From this perspective, the attack of meningitis is portrayed as a blessing that put Wilde, once and for all, out of his misery. -

His reported remark to André Gide that the drama of his life was that he had put his genius into his 1 life and only his talents into his works is at once defini tive and prophetic. His life and his works were guided by two dominant concepts:■ Art for Art, and self-fulfillment through experience. The question must arise in consideration of the works whether or not Wilde combined these two concepts into a successful and consistent aesthetic. -

After the early death of their mother, Harris was raised largely by his siblings before his father, a commander in the British Coast Guard, sent him to school in Wales. Harris ran away from school in 1871 and sailed to America. Between 1871 and 1872 Harris worked as a bootblack, construction worker, hotel clerk, and possibly as a cowboy. He traveled from New York to Chicago and ended up in Lawrence, Kansas, in 1872, where two of his brothers had settled. While Harris worked in his brothers' butcher shop and attended lectures at the University of Kansas he met and was influenced by Byron Smith, a promising young classics professor with an interest in Karl Marx. Harris placed enough importance on his association with Smith to change his name as an indication of a sort of rebirth. -
