Oscar Wilde

I am reading this compilation of short stories by Oscar Wilde, stories written for his children and man, are they excellent. Somehow, the poetic style of writing has gotten lost somewhere along the way. To quote a beautiful line, '... the Sun in his chariot of gold and the Moon in her chariot of pearl.' Wow! I just feel so inspired reading his stories. And they are beautiful stories, with a thread of common grace running through all of them. How I wish I were as poetic as him. How I wish I could write like that. I think if I were to write like that, it would come out cheesy more than beautiful.
