'In an idle moment, among many during the COVID-19 pandemic, I pulled out my set of the Centennial Magazine which I'd bought about six years ago in Melbourne at a sale conducted by Australian Book Auctions. It still had the slip of paper in it with the auction number and catalogue entry which mentioned that it had been published monthly between August 1888 and September 1890 and: included fiction by Rolf Boldrewood, Catherine Spence, Francis Adams and Ada Cambridge; articles on social issues (such as by William Lane on sex and marriage); illustrations after Streeton, Roberts, McCubbin, and Condor among others and, improbably, the first appearance of Oscar Wilde's poem 'Symphony in Yellow'.'
