As usual, I love the way you think. The Oscar Wilde line is pure gold! Though I think I might have rather met Byron. Would have LOVED to be a fly on the wall when Byron, Shelley, and Mary Shelley were hanging out in Switzerland...even if only so that Mary wouldn't be left all alone and might have some company when her husband deserted her!
The twenties would have been crazy...maybe I would go back to Chicago or LA and found some of my relatives, who at the time were busy brewing bathtub gin. :) (True story: every time my great-great-grandparents actually did make bathtub gin, they had to clean out the bathtub thoroughly afterward because my great-grandmother was allergic to juniper!)
