It’s a great book of poems, I’m completely in love with Wilde. But he does reference A LOT of things I had to look up (especially Greek mythology, which was super fun).
Also he’s obsessed with Endymion, a Greek man that fell in love with Selene the moon, and viceversa, so it was interesting and a bit repetitive. BUT I think Wilde would have loved watching Sailor Moon and that makes me happy.
