Quote of the Day (Oscar Wilde, on a Wrong Way of ‘Solving the Irish Question’)

“There are some who will welcome with delight the idea of solving the Irish question by doing away with the Irish people.  There are others who will remember that Ireland has extended her boundaries, and that we have now to reckon with her not merely in the Old World but in the New.”— Anglo-Irish playwright, novelist, short-story writer, and wit Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), review of J.A. Froude’s “Two Chiefs of Dunboy, " The Pall Mall Gazette, Apr. 13, 1889
