Summary

This quote is from the play "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde. It is spoken by the character Algernon, who creates an imaginary friend named Bunbury as an excuse to escape social obligations. The quote humorously illustrates Wilde's wit and satire, as Algernon comically plays with the notion of death. He first confesses to "killing" Bunbury but quickly backtracks, claiming that Bunbury actually died by exploding. Algernon's nonchalant and absurd statement adds a humorous touch to the play's exploration of deception and societal expectations.

There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy

There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills; but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling. Every summit seems an exaggeration. Climbing wearies. The steepnesses take away one's breath; we slip on the slopes, we are hurt by the sharp points which are its beauty; the foaming torrents betray the precipices, clouds hide the mountain tops; mounting is full of terror, as well as a fall. Hence, there is more dismay than admiration. People have a strange feeling of aversion to anything grand. They see abysses, they do not see sublimity; they see the monster, they do not see the prodigy.
