Hello guys! I recently joined this community cause I want to share this photo of Oscar Wilde's questionnaire I found on pinterest. I don't know if any of y'all have seen this? Anyway, I'm not so well versed in Oscar's penmanship so I can only read a few words of his answers. Idk it would be nice if anyone could transcribe this! via pinkcove
1.] Colour: French phrase "couleur de losse," which historically refers to a specific, unique shade inspired by wildlife; translates to "colour of the lynx" (using the old French word losse or loup-cervier for lynx), rather than a fox (after a fox?). AI says he preferred green carnations. Oscar Wilde's favourite colour was green. He deeply loved nature's shades. He also became famous for wearing a green carnation in his jacket. This flower later became a famous symbol of his lifestyle. [1, 2, 3, 4]
A lynx has a thick fur coat that changes color with the seasons to help it hide. In the winter, its fur is silvery-grey or grey-brown to blend into the snow. In the summer, its coat turns a reddish-brown or yellowish-brown. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] The fur is usually white at the tips, which gives the lynx a frosted look. Its belly and legs are always a paler grey, cream, or off-white color. Like a wearable puzzle piece, this color change acts as a natural camouflage. [1, 2, 3]
