You mentioned that you had been looking for the grave of Robbie Ross. Actually, you found it. Ross had had a niche made for himself inside Wilde's tomb and requested that he be buried there. While he died in 1918, his request wasn't granted until 1950. So, the two of them are buried together.
23gizmo32 Robbie took to heart something Wilde once said to him: “Robbie, dear, when the Last Trump sounds, I shall turn to you and whisper “Let is pretend we do not hear it!”
Those with the most brilliant minds often have the most difficulties in society. Your compassion and admiration for him are appreciated. I have always liked how you will be walking and be in awe that the person you are vlogging would have walked. Great vlog, Jordan.
Impressed with your intellect and curiosity. Can't think of another person who knows equally of Cobain and Wilde, as well as others. Your sensibility is refined and your passion is inspiring. Thank you.
Very kind of you
Jordan ; I think you may have made the best ever vlog ! I’m in tears watching this ; Oscar Wilde was one of my favourite authors growing up ; thank you so much for taking us to Paris and seeing his last resting place . You are a humble man Jordan and you deserve the best ! Have a great weekend my friend ! 👍🏻😢😭🌷🚍🗒📖🖋💙🎥🎬🇫🇷👍🏻RIP Oscar Wilde
+Sally Louise thank you!!!!
OSCAR WILDE WAS FABULOUS , WHETHER HE WANTED TO BE SO OR NOT , HE JUST WAS !
Thank you for the tribute you paid to one of the greatest English-language writers ever, Oscar Wilde. I just read - for the umpteenth time - the only novella he ever wrote "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and that work is so good that it is actually a pity that, apart from countless beautiful poems and wonderful plays, he only wrote one novella. The great aesthete who did not avoid sarcasm but embraced it as a gem.
To me there is nothing wrong with being "different " . We are ALL human beings.
Exceptional vlog!!!
+Rev. Jenny Osorio I agree... Thank you Jenny!
I can cannot thank you enough for this beautiful trip to Paris. I have read Oscar Wilde's works long ago. I am so glad you got to experience this place. I felt your raw emotions and vulnerability in this, and left me feeling so honored to have shared this with you. This has been the experience of my life! Thank you, Jordan for being a gifted, talented, and guide extroidaire! You have full-fiiled my bucket list. Much love and safe return home. Laura Odle Parry ❤❤❤
Paris is so beautiful. You taught me more about Oscar Wilde that I had ever known before. Thank you for such a compassionate vlog.
Jordan thank you so much for this ! It was beautifully done. I watched the “Lillie” series & fell in love with the character of Oscar portrayed by Peter Egan. Oscar dared to be different back then & those who couldn’t handle it. I don’t understand about the leaves. I tried to zoom into the picture to see Oscar but I’m not sure if I did see him. It brought tears to my eyes as well as the bullying he took before he went to prison. Thank you also for showing us his resting place. The world back then wasn’t ready for Oscar. He paved the way for the lifestyle of those who prefer it. It took well over 100 years after his passing before accepting those who are different changed. Oscar was an original which will be er be duplicated. Here is to Oscar……❤
I too went to see Oscar Wilde a few years back and had that spiritual moment with him. I love that you went and saw his gravesite. How wonderful.
You using "spiritual moment" made me cheer up a bit idk why. You couldn't have said it more beautiful
I'm so glad and relieved though that he'd since repented and became a Catholic. Now therefore, I can hope!
That makes my day!
'Idiot' is not a fitting description. Better to use the phrase 'he was seduced by folly.' The folly of listening to Lord Alfred Douglas. Otherwise, a very worthwhile tour. Thank you.
The Irish have produced FOUR Nobel laureates in Literature .
Firstly , George Bernard Shaw, then William Butler Yeats , Samuel Beckett
and finally Seamus Heaney .
Alfred Nobel's great prize was initiated in 1901 , shortly after Oscar Wilde's death in 1900.
Had Wilde lived , he certainly would have certainly been awarded a Nobel Laureate .
Truly , an extraordinary human being & a towering literary figure .
what a beautiful cemetery.
suzanne Baker the pére lachaise in Paris is definately worth a visit
I am brought to tears my friend. Wonderful Vlog. I could have watched it for hours. Thank you once again Jordan.
+NANCY HOPPLE thank you Nancy!
Beautiful video, thanks for sharing this! I’m so upset, I’ve been to Paris but that was before discovering Oscar who I am now totally obsessed with. I completely agree that he is one of the most brilliant and misunderstood people in history. Hope to go back to Paris one day and visit his grave.
Thank you for taking us viewers on your little journey....So sad the way he lived the last 3 years of his life
I’m sorry Jordan that you didn’t get in the museum, awesome vlog though. I had hoped that you would stop at Jim’s grave too. Hope that you a andJah are enjoying your new home.
As a long time Wilde fan, I must say you have outdone yourself with this great video. Your passion for and understanding of this great man comes through.....no small feat in a mere 30 minute video. ALSO, you did find Robbie Ross' resting place and did not realize it! When he had the monument designed, Ross had a small niche created just large enough for an urn. When he died, he was cremated and his ashes were interred in the niche......so Ross and Wilde are together for eternity.
+Tad Howington i did not know that robbie was in there! Im so glad to hear that! I really wanted to include him as much as i coukd because of how much he helped oscar. Thank you for that update..
This was magnificent. You did a wonderful job telling the story. You also ended in the best possible way. The Eiffel Tower was gorgeous. Just when I think you have outdone yourself, you outdo yourself! Thank you.
Jordan, I’m so happy for you that you got to experience 75% of your bucket list on this grey day in Paris. So many of us will never get to say that. I am in awe for you. You make no apologies or regrets for Oscar within your respect for him and his life.✨🌟✨
ROBBIE IS BURIED WITH OSCAR
Wow, mind blown! That was such a good vlog! My wife and I both loved it! So much info in 33 min. I got my mom watching you now! Your channel is so good! Thanks again!
+Kevin Jinks thanks Kevin! I feel like this video was the most important one I've made yet... but I still have a few more from this trip that will be coming out in the next few days, so it's not the end! A few more surprises around every corner
Thank you Jordan. I learned a great deal and have a new appreciation for Oscar Wilde. Sad ending...
I am so overwhelmed I can't even come up with words. Thank you for this.
+Aileen Rosenberg thank you
Some people bring joy wherever they go others whenever they go.
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I've learned more than I knew before about the most delightful Mr. Wilde. And you've inspired me to read more of this man's works.
Jim Morrison is buried the same cemetery as Oscar and Edith Piaf such magical genius all in the same place.... cool video Jordan
Gertrude Stein/Alice B Toklas are buried there as well. The Paris of Stein and Toklas would be a whole video in itself.
+belia1313 I know
@@DazewithJordantheLion Jordan this was a GREAT video. BRAVO! I am a huge history nerd and you nailed his life perfectly.
i loved this! i believe one of his contemporaries George Augustus Moore is my great grandfather.
love Oscar Wilde, he was brilliant!
A drunken man's speech is the truth , Oscar Wilde. Victorian Britain was less than friendly towards gay men if he lived in today's Britain now he would a TV star how times change.
I visited that last month...grave....O.Wilde..
..Edith Piaf...Jim Morrison...Balzac....Pere Lachaise....Paris.....Wwwwwooooowww.....Beautifulll...Eiffel Tower at midnight beautifullllll....and...Louvre...Montmartre......wwwooowww....my best holiday....🗼🗼🗼🗼🗼🗼👌👌💕💕💕
Great stuff my man!! I just had to tell someone this that happenned to me on Friday. I have always heard his name. But for some reason Friday afternoon around 2pm I looked him up and watched the BBC documentary and movie "Wilde" and at the end of the Doc I see that he died 118yrs ago Friday from Cerebal Meningitis, something I beat after a month in the hospital when I was 4. I am 40 now. Woke up this morning and listening to his bio audiobook and find out he died at 2pm that day. Been having heath issues lately just got home and found out that my meningitis is back, but treatable. Crazy, there are things that we cannot understand going on this plane no doubt. Oscar Wilde buried 118 years ago today. God Bless You brother, stay safe.
I visited in 2010, back then, It was covered with visitors' lipstick prints which I like. They give the grave so much characters and I think Wilde would approve of the lip prints. I hate how they have destroyed the 'decoration' . I had no idea they put glass over the grave until I watched your video. I hate it. I am so lucky that I visited it when it's so free and so close to the grave.
WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!! Loved it. Thank you, Jordan. We'll always have Paris.
+Rachel Delgado exactly!
What a wonderful vlog. I'm so happy you got to do this. Thank you for allowing us to view your page a day. :)
+crush41gb you're so welcome. Thanks for watching this one.
Daze with Jordan the Lion Thank *you*! I never miss 'em and they just keep getting better and better! :)
Oscar was a genius. He was a very a charming person that made him famous. The world is better of for his being so brilliant. Such a great tribute, thank you for going there. Bless. Far too short of vlog.
Kay UK.......I love Oscar Wilde....this was wonderfull..really touched me.........
Wow this is amazing commentary and sharing the facts! I just watched a move about him and now I’m obsessed with learning about his life.
I was there in 98. I don't remember the glass but that was 21 years ago. They would not let me take any video of Jim Morrison's grave site. They had two cops there watching things.
This was a very emotional video. Thanks for sharing with all of us. It's been great getting this Christmas-time tour.
The Eiffel tower glitters every evening hour on the hour. It’s a thing,
the graphite vandalism is the only thing that makes Paris looks ugly
Thank you Jordan! What an exceptional vlog today! Merci my friend, and safe travels. ✌🏻
+TomGrohl Merci! I appreciate that so much!! This was my #1 Bucket list, so I'm glad you enjoyed it as well!
Outstanding video ! Thanks so much for including me on your journey.....
Truly an amazing trip. Enjoyed it with you Jordan!!!
I am so happy you got to start on your bucket list! I know exactly how you feel. Awesome videos, as usual.
Thanks for the tour of Oscar Wilde's gravesite its one place I wanted to see in Paris. I also wanted visit James M. Barrie's historical places like Kensington Gardens and Oscar Wilde's historical places in London England. I have read alot about Oscar WIlde's fall from grace on both sides of the argument and side with Robert Ross. Even Oscar Wilde blamed Bosie in the censored parts of his book De Profundus, Oscar Wilde shouldn't have sued for libel and walked away from Bosie a spoiled brat who unknowingly lead Oscar Wilde into a trap his father setup purposely. I think Oscar Wilde should have gone to France to avoid prosecution but became a martyr instead a man ahead of his time. It's ironic now that Oscar Wilde is in the poets corner. I think in England Oscar Wilde's reputation is being restored since more people understand what happened to him was unfair.
Thank you so much! I've had a fascination with Oscar Wilde since the early 80's. I've read several biographies as well as all of his works and I agree with you on De Profundis. Excellent vlog! Side note--he was born in October (so was I), married in May (so was I), had two sons (me too, from that marriage and another son from my second marriage), and died in November (waiting to see about that lol!)
It wasn't so much of the manner of Wilde's personal Life-style that the public and friends really cared about...It was his Uppity, 'Queenly', and innate personal snobbery to what Oscar considered the 'uninitiated intellect of the Masses'; be the the Working Man (whose physical robustness he adored), or those of the University Class. The trial really turned dead-set against him when the prosecutors ripped into him with a psychological scalpel; and produced damaging evidence of his part, during an all male party, festooned with 'Rent Boys', in which he verbally humiliated on such young boy, for 'being 'far too ugly', for him to kiss, even after Oscar had kissed all the others. The said young man, who idolized Wilde and his writings was so distraught, that he there upon committed- suicide. The prosecutor produced this at trial, with the threat of producing other 'rent boys' to testify . It was not a mere judgement upon Wilde that was played, but the Standard and sad fact--'Our Idols have feet of Clay', and once anyone looks beyond the shear genius of Wilde's work---one finds a man of shallow and contemptuous social views
Jordan my friend...you’ve outdone yourself... this was fantastic. It’s very obvious that this was very important for you . I’m so happy you were able to make it happen. Thank you for for letting us tag along and experience this wonderful adventure through your eyes... Bless you for having that beautiful big heart and seeing such good in others... Bravo!
+Cakemaster2341 thank you Ginger!!!
Thank you very much
I LOVED The Picture of Dorian Gray! I read it when I was growing up and it was one my favorite books. Thank you for this. You had me in tears, I could tell you were chocked up.
Jordan, I am so happy you got to go to Paris! Those sunglasses looked fabulous on YOU! If you have to give them away, get another pair like them/color for yourself. I was obsessed with Oscar Wilde myself; I did alot of research on him and his life. Dorian Gray was my favorite of all time. It is too bad you were not able to visit Jim Morrison also. it is amazing what you did do in just a day! Please be careful in your travels, its why movies like Hostel are made.
IT IS DESTINY , AND A MARK AGAINST SOCIETY , AND THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN , THAT THE LOWEST OF MANKIND WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THE MOST BRILLIANT !!
The future is uncertain and the end is always near....Jim Morrison 🇺🇸🏛🎸and the ghost of Oscar Wilde 🇮🇪🏛🇬🇧
People used to put on lipstick then kiss the grave, which damages the stone over time.
Back when I went to see the grave the glass was already in place, but there where also lipstick kisses on the glass. It *is* defacing but on the other hand there's a good chance he would have been surprised to know he was still THAT popular a century later
What a fab vlog I loved him too I’ve been to reading jail to see the iconic front gates so sad to think how such a clever man was humiliated and flogged to death ❤️❤️
I was able to visit the grave in the late 1990's and in the early 2000's. There was no glass around the grave then. The only graffiti I saw on the tombstone was the lipstick prints of queens who would apply a thick layer and kiss the sculpture on the stone, mostly on the genitals.
Enjoyed the vlog immensely, so glad your got to check this off your bucket list,
I saw this when I was in Paris! My favorite city! Next trip see:The Pantheon, Catacombs, and Louvre! Excellent vlog! Eiffel Tower at midnight! Beautiful!🗼
That was amazing xxxthankyou ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fascinating Story, I truly hope Oscar found peace. I’m going to definitely read up on him.. Thanks Jordan, This Europe Trip has been Awesome. One of my Favourite Vlogs so far. R.I.P OSCAR YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN OSTRACIZED FOR THE LOVE YOU FELT FOR ANOTHER, MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHO IT WAS!!!! 😢😢💜
+Lisa Marie great comment! Thank you!
WOW WOW WOW!!! Great vlog!!! I too have been to Oscar Wilde’s gravesite, although back in 1982. Was fortunate enough to touch the monument as no glass protection then. We often do his plays where I work at the Stratford Festival. www.stratfordfestival.ca
Wilde's story and fall is one of those all time incredible things. obviously a true tragedy, and add to that all the plays etc he wouldve written.
Thank- you for the great trouble you went to making this vlog.
Wonderful vlog....so happy for you!!! Thanks for sharing Jordan. 👍
Thank you so so much for sharing this, I think I felt every emotion with you when you came across his tombstone! If only you could have seen his hotel room too ... did you ever go back?
Thanks for taking us all along.Sry missed your live stream.lionheart4life.Love to the jahster.
I used to have lunch ( back n the 70´s) in L´Hôtel where Oscar Wilde died. Now it is a luxury "Boutique Hotel."
Nobody ever shows the back of the tomb...Would like to see it sometime....
Totally and completely AWESOME!!
I LOVE Oscar Wilde and your video reminded me of when I discovered his work. He would be on my 'dinner' bucket list too. :-) Thanks for sharing!
+Carrie LeBlanc thank you Carrie
Yet again you have not disappointed. Another great vlog, very informative. Thank you so much
Wow Jordan! This is one of your best vlogs. I am so happy your got to check off the number 1 thing on your bucket list. I think Oscar Wilde is buried in one of the most beautiful cementaries in the world, and that is very fitting for a man who was about beauty.
+Never in the kitchen I agree! I wish I could have stayed in that cemetery looking around for days
everyone you know must be so in love with you
Only one lady matters, and I got her love.... Very kind of you
What an incredibly moving vlog!!!
paris is so beautiful, your so lucky to be there, thank you for bringing us.
the picture of dorian grey was kinda a hard read for me.it was an interesting story.
when i read about his life it said while he was in the hard labor prison they would make run like on a treadmill for hrs straight everyday. i wondrr why Robbie didn't come and stay with him, that would have been better. very great and intetesting video
Awesome place and vlog. i love your passion for things keep up great work you do.
Great vlog Jordan. I could hear the appreciation in your voice while you visited the grave site. I would have went to see Jim Morrison's as well. However, I'm glad you got to do what you set out to do.
Well hello again I’m ready for the next adventure with you 🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 have an awesome day .
Awesome, totally awesome
Oscar Wilde! I will focus on his work. Too me, the grave sight and monument is so special it took my breathe away!
Jordan I am so happy that you got to visit one place that means so much to you, .you will forever have this memory.. The cemetery was so stunning a lot of history. This vlog was amazing, your improving so much. What a shame how society can be harmful to different people such as bisexual, disabled or someone that is different ... Some of Oscar's story is similar to me being different. One day people will understand we need to be different, not prefect otherwise the world would boring. It was a wonderful vlog and a great surprise. I really enjoyed how much your smiled everyone can tell how much it meant to you...This vlog put a huge smile and made me happy- great timing I just got out of a 7 days in hospital. Thankyou Jordan safe travels
+MICHELLE DALTON I'm so happy to read this!!! Those sunglasses are yours to chose what to do with. I can mail them to you, or we can figure out some way of doing something with them. I didn't want you to think I forgot to do them, I just had a suspicion I would make this happen this year. I hope you are recovering well :)
I never was worried, I know you are extremely busy and appreciate everything you do. I knew you would make the vlog fitting, element of surprise are always the best. I got positive results from the infusion it's just pain management now, I have scar tissue in my spinal cord resulting in perm nerve damage which affects 100% of my body. I'm getting better everyday thank Jordan . You guys always make me smile and happy even when its bad, i thank you for that.I plan to come back to your gorgeous country hopefully sooner rather than later. Give Jah a big kiss
❤️❤️❤️Love this!🙏🏼❤️💯
What a great way to end your trip. This was a real treat!! I can definately sense all your emotions. Thank you for sharing this with us.
+Vianey Frias oh, it's not over ;)
Amazing.
Great job Jordan - you have a poets heart 👍
Enjoyed joining you on your tour, really interesting and I know I shall never get to Paris to see his grave, so thank you for sharing that.
awesome!!! did you know Jim Morrison is buried in the same cemetery
Jordan thank you for making this video. I’m planning a trip to Pere lechaise specifically to see Oscar and Robbie’s final resting place with a friend and she really didn’t understand why I wanted to go to a cemetery to see a writers tomb but I found your video and played it for her after telling her Oscar’s story but the emotion you showed while speaking of him I think convinced her it’s not just my crazy idea. She is now looking forward to going. Thank you.
I visited Pere La Chaise cemetery to see Frederic Chopin's grave - definitely worth a visit, and visited the other notable graves like Wilde's and Jim Morrison's, etc at the same time. Wilde's grave looks straight out of 1900 - so impressive and tragic. Proud that Paris was happy to have him and didn't care like Victorian London.
robbie is buried in oscars tomb with him
Totally love it 😍
Very unique cemetery - beautiful - Fun day seeing Oscars' world through your eyes. I am moving - will not have internet for a bit - see you in two weeks - Looking forward to catching up on what I missed.
Amazing video, I just loved it!
When I first heard of Oscar Wilde I immediately felt drawn to him. Your video is so interesting and informative. Thx!
Hope to go there one day, I'm a huge fan of Oscar Wilde's as well. Pretty cool vid.. 😊🖖
So pleased you got to see them. And next time you can do an Oscar Wilde day, with the hotel room and museum. I have never cried with your vlogs, but you had me in tears. You could hear the emotions in your voice, as you walked towards his resting place. Thank you again Jordan.
Jakki and Buddy same here ; blubbing up here x
+Jakki and Buddy unfortunately, the museum exhibit ends in less than a month, but you can't always have everything perfect.. or maybe, it was as perfect as it was supposed to be
Daze with Jordan the Lion that is a shame.do you know if the exhibition going to be shown elsewhere?
+Daze with Jordan the Lion not that I knokw of.. as I understand it, the whole collection on display is owned by a private owner.. perhaps maybe he will allow it to be seen bear Oscars family house that still stands in Dublin...
Daze with Jordan the Lion l will do some homework for you, and send you an email. Be easier to get info being in the UK and friends in Ireland. 😁
A very interesting vlog about Oscar Wilde.
