Wilde told a host that he'd toiled strenuously that day. "I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning and took out a comma," he said.
"And in the afternoon?" she asked.
"In the afternoon," responded Wilde, "-- well, I put it back again."
-Oscar Wilde from The Wit and Wisdom of Oscar Wilde by Ralph Keyes
