Day 6 in Dublin

Oscar Wilde ,author, playwright and poet was born in 1854 at no. 1 Merrion Square- just across the road from his sculpture |
The Oscar Wilde Sculpture- a pillar with a bronze male torso representing Dionysus, the God of wine, youth and theatre |
The Oscar Wilde Sculpture- a pillar with a bronze of his pregnant wife, Constance, staring accusingly across the path at him |
The pillars are covered in quotations from Wilde’s writing, setting out his thoughts, opinions and witticisms on art and life. |
