What happened to Wilde’s grave twelve months ago, according to the text?
Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde died as a poor man in France in 1900 and his friends could only aff ord a
simple grave for him outside Paris. But twelve years later, enough money was collected
and Wilde’s remains1were moved to the most famous cemetery in Paris. His new grave,
with a statue of an angel, both made of white stone, was created by American sculptor
Jacob Epstein in 1914. It soon became a magnet for tourists who started to cover the
stone with lipstick kisses. Unfortunately, the lipstick sank into the stone and every time it
was cleaned, the grave was damaged even more. So, a year ago, French conservationists
decided to clean it and keep it safe behind a glass panel. The restored grave was
presented on the date of the anniversary of Wilde’s death.
