Transcribed from 1913 Methuen and Co. edition by David Price "Charmides, and Other Poems" by Oscar Wilde is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. This volume showcases a selection of Wilde's work, including the titular poem "Charmides," which is a narrative poem that delves into themes of love, beauty, and classical ideals. The collection reflects Wilde's hallmark wit and lyrical prowess, drawn from his experiences and inspirations as one of the leading figures of the Aesthetic Movement. The central narrative of "Charmides" revolves around a beautiful young Grecian lad and his encounters with a goddess, exploring themes of love, desire, and the transcendent nature of beauty. As the lad, Charmides, navigates a series of poignant moments—from his infatuation, complete with ecstatic descriptions of love's sensations, to his fateful interaction with the divine Athena—Wilde masterfully intertwines mythological elements with a contemporary sensibility. The subsequent poems in the collection further explore various facets of human experience, encompassing reflections on mortality, nature, and the inevitability of time, underscoring Wilde's ability to blend depth with exquisite artistry in language.
