Don't squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar. These are the sickly aims, the false ideals, of our age. Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you!
- Oscar Wilde The Picture of Dorian Gray

【“愿作水仙无别意，年年图与此花期。”象征崭新开始的水仙花，绝对不能单送一支哦[挤眼]】Oscar Wilde said of daffodils, "They are like Greek things of the best period." Daffodil is the common name, while the popular "narcissus" is the Latin name or botanical name – thus the former is recommended to use except for scientific texts. The symbolic meanings of the daffodil are interpreted differently across the globe. In China, for example, the daffodil is associated with "good fortune" while in Japan, it is "mirth and joyousness." But similarly, it carries bright and positive messages. Though the joyful flower is fit for many occasions, make sure always to gift it as a bouquet – a single daffodil implies misfortune while several together symbolize joy and happiness. #2019北京世园会#

“绿色仙子” 之 苦艾酒
苦艾酒又叫忘忧酒，Oscar Wilde说：“苦艾酒可能是世界上最富诗意的东西，一杯苦艾酒和一轮落日又有什么区别呢？”

In a Cafe The Absinthe Drinker(埃德加·德加,1834 - 1917）

该画面笔触粗犷，生动简练地刻画了两人的精神状态，一杯苦艾酒，反衬出两个失意人的苦涩和孤独。人物被挤到右上角，他们几乎互相挨着，但又沉浸在各自的世界里。画面大部分空间用来描绘酒吧陈设，这种空旷感与人物的失落感相映成趣，被人誉为是一幅有思想性的叙事画。
