I came across a clipping,that spoke about Oscar Wilde’s story sent for publication.
the publisher returned the material ,with a note that it was not properly punctuated.
Oscar Wilde got wild,took a sheet of paper and filled it with all sorts of punctuation marks, coma, semicolon, colon, question mark, inverted comas, slash, question mark.
Mediocracy does not recognise brilliance.
Brilliance cannot tolerate mediocracy.
The half baked editors.try to detect mistakes, scrutinise minor flaws, blow it up, proclaim as though they are the best read, best witted,and indulge in harsh criticism enough to break the hearts.
Oscar Wilde dashed a mocking ,contemptous record of displeasure.
Punctuations are important, but erring in not marking them is not a sin.
It may be due to oversight, due to the excitement, due to certain prerogatives.
The comas and semicolons can be added by the editors.
Punctuations ,mostly increase the understanding of the writing, but do not add colour and meaning to the flow of feelings.
Rejection of exemplary materials for lack of punctuation is erroneous and unpardonable.
If Oscar Wilde, had been treated in the same manner ,by other publications, the world would have been deprived of valuable literature.
It would have been an irreperable loss to mankind
