 [No title]
Cyril was now sixteen, and his punctuality, and the neatness of his work, had been so appreciated by the tradesmen who first employed him, that his time was now fully occupied, and that at rates more remunerative than those he had at first obtained.
Cyril had still a vivid remembrance of his mother, and, though his father had but seldom spoken to him of her, he knew that he had loved her, and that, had she lived, he would never have given way to drink as he had done of late years.
Cyril was the only mourner; and when it was over, instead of going back to his lonely room, he turned away and wandered far out through the fields towards Hampstead, and then sat himself down to think what he had best do.

It is his grandson Merlin Holland's moment too: his new edition of Wilde's letters has just been published, he co-curated the exhibition at the British Library, and he is dashing between the UK, France, Ireland and the US, co-ordinating the Wilde commemoration and appearing at conferences and seminars to discuss his fabled forebear.
Holland is by no means an uncritical flag-waver for his grandfather, but he stresses the undeniable fact about Wilde - his agelessness.
Holland is working on a book about the ebb and flow of Wilde's reputation, and thinks then he will draw a line under his excursions into family history.

 Probe V7N6: Max Holland Rescues the Warren Commission and the Nation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Holland believes that RFK, to protect the Kennedy name, and his own political future, repeatedly blocked the very avenues of investigation whose sloppy coverage in 1964 is taken as proof today that the Warren Commission got it wrong.
Holland never lets on that the “process” Katzenbach advocated to “put rumor and speculation to rest” consisted of “making public as soon as possible a complete and thorough FBI report on Oswald and the assassination,” since “the reputation of the Bureau is such that it may do the whole job” of quelling public doubts.
Holland, however, shouldn’t be faulted for scurrying to Katzenbach’s side--he wasn’t wearing the executive chef’s hat during the pre-cooking of the Kennedy case.

 Creeds of Christendom Volume I (v.v)
The Confession of Cyril Lucar was never adopted by any branch or party of the Eastern Church, and even repeatedly condemned as heretical; but as it gave rise to the later authentic definitions of the 'Orthodox Faith,' in opposition to the distinctive doctrines of Romanism and Protestantism, it must be noticed here.
Cyril Lucar was born in 1568 or 1572 in Candia (Crete), then under the sovereignty of Venice, and the only remaining seat of Greek learning.
Cyril brought the Codex with him from Alexandria, or, according to another report, from Mount Athos, and sent it to England in 1628, where it passed from the king's library into the British Museum, 1753.

 Born to be Wilde tour 1997/1998
One of Wilde's two sons, Cyril Holland, came to Radley College (where Quadrant are based) in 1899 and left in 1903.
It was not in fact until the 1950's that Cyril Holland was even acknowledged in the Radley Register as the son of Oscar Wilde.
The Radley Archives have shown how deeply Cyril was tainted by the secrecy and ill-repute of the Wilde name, and after his father's death in 1900 he seems to have been on a quest to prove his manhood in defiance of his fathers supposedly effeminate aestheticism.
