The Irish on mariage

"Bigamy is having one wife too many. Marriage is the same."
--Oscar Wilde

"Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience."
-- Oscar Wilde

Me darlin' was sweet, me darlin' was chaste
Faith, an' more's the pity.
For though she was sweet an'though she was chaste,
She was chased all the way through the city.
Anonymous Irish verse, circa 1790

  1. JP, a couple questions if you've a mind to tell me. Oscar Wilde, was he Irish? The second is kind of off the mark but I don't think there are any gay Irishmen. Are there? And if so, where do they hang out?
