When you stop pondering over the beauty and magnificence of something because you believe that you understand it, then you stop thinking to fathom its meaning - that piece of art is then dead for you. dead in terms of the stimulation it gave you and how it used to engage every morsel of you... How ironical.
Funny how no one commented on Friedrich Nietzsche. Or are Wilde's words more controversial? Wilde is wild indeed. Even his orientation - he has been considered to be either bisexual or homosexual.
I love Wilde. His poems/ works are most often than not debatable and provides us with the option to view an otherwise bland situation with different perspectives.
Hmm...thanks for all your explaination.. Can i put it in present contex..as in..Whenever there's something new out in the ad or market..people often are curious, attracted to it..wanting to know more about it..but as time goes by..people see more and more of that ad or product which they thought well..I already seen this ad and product..and they thought they already knew it..it no longer has that attraction for them anymore..the ad is already dead..That's also why tv advertisement needs to change its image every now and then..like dhl. fedex..and even mcdonald..

I dun understand.
Can u kindly explain this?
Thanks.
Wilde has mind full of idiosyncracies - which makes one look at things from different perspectives.
In my opinion, what Wilde is trying to say really is that we should always keep an open mind.
Wilde is wild!

I think there is more depth to Wilde's words than modern day commercialism.
