I have a Whitman quote tattoo in the same place. It also features the word madness. Not only that, but Whitman was a great influence over Wilde. Nifty!

Brilliant!
Is it any part of this?
O something unprov’d! something in a trance!
O madness amorous! O trembling!
O to escape utterly from others’ anchors and holds!

To drive free! to love free! to dash reckless and dangerous!
To court destruction with taunts—with invitations!
To ascend—to leap to the heavens of the love indicated to me!
To rise thither with my inebriate Soul!
To be lost, if it must be so!
25
To feed the remainder of life with one hour of fulness and freedom!
With one brief hour of madness and joy.

Wow, nicely done! It is the first line/title. Its in Walt’s handwriting (if I didn’t mention that before.) How did you determine this? Whitman uses madness frequently.

Not sure. That is just where my mind took me. Just one who appreciates words understanding another that appreciates words maybe?
Do you have a good photo of it?
