The wise contradict themselves." - O. Wilde

On a serious note, its funny you should quote Oscar Wilde today. We were all discussing this story by him, the Last leaf! Very touching and came up when were discussing falling leaves in Fall.
No real connection except the author!

I felt sentimental upon reading that story way back in school. Now when I read it, I feel the utter passion carried by the hero and actually appreciate it. Perhaps, I am just getting old... :)

Ya... thats a good one... I recommend watching The Importance of Being Ernest for the O. Wilde fans... Crazy Brit humor... Think O.Wilde was born way before his time and poor guy had to suffer cos of his radical ideas...

I agree with LC. The story I felt was like a good wine. Getting better as the years go by and as we reflect on it. Sometimes hero's dont have to kill others!! so dont worry about getting old! I wanted to say something else..but I wont:))
