Excerpt from The Harp, Vol. 6: October, 1881 But the time passed on the cause was lost the young men were scattered all the world over; and Speranza, amid the general shipwreck, retired in des pair from Irish politics. A A little after, inthe year 1851, she married Dr. Wilde, of 'dublin city - a gentleman of high medical repute and some literary abili ties. But in the general despair that blighted all hopes at that period, Spe rauza's harp was hushed. One may as well expect that the nightingale would utter its bewitching notes of melody if incarcerated in a noisome cell as expect that Speranza could sing -now that the gloom had fallen on the land and almost every vestige of nation ality was being swept with the de parture of the young galaxy of writers and craters of the period. The career of Lady Wilde from that time up to the present has been marked by no public action of any sort. She has published avolume of poems, many of which first saw the light in the old Nation, and which were received very favourably by the press critics. This is the only volume of her own, we believe.
