Summary

This quote, attributed to Oscar Wilde, reflects the personal struggle between living fully and expressing oneself creatively. Wilde portrays his life as a true dramatic spectacle, where he has invested his genius, or inherent brilliance, into living and experiencing, rather than solely channeling it into his artistic works. By separating his talent, which implies skill and craftsmanship, from his genius, Wilde suggests that he prioritizes embracing life's richness over purely displaying his creative abilities in his art. It underscores the idea that he cultivates his genius through personal adventures, rather than confining it solely to his works.
