His health declined steadily, and he died just three years after being released from prison, while exiled in Paris. Wilde’s time in prison was at odds with his previous, posh life, and he did not fare well there. He was sentenced to two years of hard labor. In 1895, however, he was tried and found guilty by the state of having committed sodomy-homosexuality was, at the time, criminal. Throughout his life, Wilde held careers as a magazine editor, a journalist, an essayist, a dramatist, and a novelist. Eventually, he married and fathered two children. This same year, he published his poem, “Ravenna.” For a time, Wilde travelled between Paris, London, and the US delivering lectures, mostly on the subject of aestheticism, and publishing poems and plays. Still, he graduated from Magdalen in 1878 with a bachelor’s degree in classics and very high honors. He consequently developed a reputation for being something of a “bad boy” that would follow him for his entire life. At Magdalen, Wilde’s studies remained classically focused, but his eye was nevertheless caught by the emerging decadent movement and aestheticism. The child of well-off Irish parents, Oscar Wilde studied the classics at Trinity College in Dublin at the age of seventeen and matriculated to Magdalen College, University of Oxford, three years later. “A big lonely animal crying in the night. “Sounds like an animal, don’t it?” McDunn nodded to himself. ‘The Fog Horn was blowing steadily, once every fifteen seconds. ‘The ocean It rolls and swells a thousand shapes and colors, no two alike.’ Here are some quotes to whet your appetite: Keeping this brief review spoiler-free, I will just say that Bradbury’s descriptions of the sea and the sound of the fog horn are simply stunning. It contains themes of loneliness, isolation, companionship, the power of nature, as well as how little we know about the vast depths of the ocean. The Fog Horn is a tale of two men who work at a secluded lighthouse and what they witness there on a cold November night. This is the first of my Hallowe’en Reads 2018. I came across it in his 1953 short story collection The Golden Apples of the Sun, which is a HUGE recommendation if you haven’t yet read it. Ray Bradbury’s The Fog Horn was first published in 1951 in The Saturday Evening Post. ‘I’ll make a sound that’s so alone that no one can miss it, that whoever hears it will weep in their souls, and hearths will seem warmer, and being inside will seem better to all who hear it in the distant towns.’ However, if you were not so kindly you would state that he has no original bone in his body and is simply re-working classics from the past. If you were being kind you could say that Paolini was paying homage to Star Wars and the Lord of The Rings.
