Oscar Wilde

His father had been our ambassador at Madrid... but
had retired from the diplomatic service in a capricious
moment of annoyance at not being offered the
Embassy at Paris, a post to which he considered that
he was fully entitled by reason of his birth, his indolence,
the good english of his despatches and his
inordinate passion for pleasure.
