3 Oscar Wilde Quotes on Prison

Oscar Wilde quotes on prison

205. I never saw a man who looked With such a wistful eye Upon that little tent of blue Which prisoners call the sky.

212. I know not whether Laws be right, Or whether Laws be wrong; All that we know who lie in gaol Is that the wall is strong; And that each day is like a year, A year whose days are long.

213. The vilest deeds like poison weeds Bloom well in prison air; It is only what is good in man That wastes and withers there; Pale Anguish keeps the heavy gate And the Warder is Despair.
