He died on November 30, 1900. For those who do not know him, Mr. Wilde was an Irish poet and playwright. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From now on, Bambi will think of Mr. Wilde every year when she will highlight the birthday of Nicolas, her nephew, who was also born on October 16 [she hopes he had a wonderful day :)!].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude this brief post, if you wish, you can read some of Mr. Wilde&#8217;s quotes. The latter will be followed by an uplifting Egyptian song, by Ms. Yasmin Ali, on a positive outlook in life. In case you had a tough day or week, may you find some comfort in those words or melody.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>\u201cTo live is the rarest thing in the world.
