Wow, great monument, bree. It seems a bit coffin-like though...

It does look like a coffin. The sculptor (Maggi Hambling) said of it:

"The idea is that he is rising, talking, laughing, smoking from this sarcophagus and the passerby, should he or she choose to, can sit on the sarcophagus and have a conversation with him. It is actually completed when a member of the public, a passerby, choses to sit down and have a chat with him."

Ok, that's a little creepy. But I'd love to see it in person anyway! (I've been known to visit gravesites, especially in Paris, and that's probably much more creepy.)

Thanks, bree! I love Oscar Wilde; it amazes me that a person can have that much wit. The play from which I've taken that quote is not my favourite-- my favourite being 'The Importance of Being Earnest--' but I love what it's saying. I've never seen that in London at all, although I've been to his grave (on a particularly weird trip, which started off at Sylvia Plath's grave and went all over Europe.) It's rather unusual that one can 'talk' with Oscar Wilde, but I think that I will... has anyone spoken to it, do you know?

drom, I'm sure the sculpture has had its share of people who have been willing to talk to it; I'm just not sure how many of those people had anything to say that was on a par with Oscar's conversation!

Add a C to FRAILTIES to get the next (admittedly obscure) word.

Never let it be said I haven't learned anything from this game. We got to this same point a couple of weeks ago, and it seems to me the answer was:

There are at least three words that can follow BLUSHERS.
