Oscar Wilde Quotes
He Was Conscious - And The Thought Brought A Gleam Of Pleasure Into His Brown Agate Eyes - That It Was Through Certain Words Of His, Musical Words Said With Musical Utterance, That Dorian Gray's Soul Had Turned To This White Girl And Bowed In Worship Before Her. To A Large Extent The Lad Was His Own Creation. He Had Made Him Premature. That Was Something. Ordinary People Waited Till Life Disclosed To Them Its Secrets, But To The Few, To The Elect, The Mysteries Of Life Were Revealed Before The Veil Was Drawn Away. Sometimes This Was The Effect Of Art, And Chiefly Of The Art Of Literature, Which Dealt Immediately With The Passions And The Intellect. But Now And Then A Complex Personality Took The Place And Assumed The Office Of Art, Was Indeed, In Its Way, A Real Work Of Art, Life Having Its Elaborate Masterpieces, Just As Poetry Has, Or Sculpture, Or Painting.
