About This Quote
"It is a paradoxical thing, but the moonlight seems to be the falsest thing at night. The most languid and petit-bourgeoisstrikes meI like it. I am very fond of it because it is so delicate and yet so moving."- Oscar WildeThis quote reflects a sort of ambivalence toward the moon. On the one hand, it is a moon that “lies” on the ground, making it seem like less of an actual object than if it were floating in space. It also feels “languid” and “petit-bourgeoisstrikes meI like it.”
