Masters of Chiasmus: Oscar Wilde


Oscar Wilde
(1854-1900)

Oscar Wilde

Our next Master of Chiasmus is the inimitable Oscar Wilde, one of the greatest writers and wits—and certainly one of the most colorful characters—in literary history. Wilde experimented with chiasmus innumerable times in both his writings and in his everyday conversation. I'll present a number of my favorite chiastic quotes from "The Oscar" here. If you enjoy this feature, please let me know what you like about it, and why. If I fail to include an essential quote, or err in some way, let me know that as well. Your comments will make this a better site for other visitors in the future.
