All manner of stories are circulated about the prison life of Oscar Wilde, including the persistent reports that he is in a state of
mental and physical collapse. The fact is that he is perfectly sound in mind and body. At first he suffered acutely. While Taylor took his sentence as
coolly as an old hand, Wilde was terribly cast down, and was in a state of semi-collapse in his cell at Newgate prior to his transfer to Pentonville.
There he rapidly recovered, and something of the jaunty and rather defiant demeanor which he displayed at his first trial reappeared. He, to all
appearances, is reconciled to his fate. His conduct is good, he gives little trouble, and abides by the rules, which become less irksome in consequence.
