instead. He illustrated Malory’s Morte d’Arthur, Edgar Allan Poe’s short
stories, and Oscar Wilde’s Salome. Aubrey Beardsley got in trouble after
Wilde’s trial and he died in 1898 of tuberculosis.

Quotation by - Aubrey Beardsley
No language is rude
that can boast polite writers.
In the present age, alas! our pens are ravished by unlettered authors and
unmannered critics, that make a havoc rather than a building, a wilderness
rather than a garden. But, a lack! what boots it to drop tears upon the
preterit?
