Oscar Wilde Quotes

The Walls Were Hung With Rich Tapestries Representing The Triumph Of Beauty. A Large Press, Inlaid With Agate And Lapis-lazuli, Filled One Corner, And Facing The Window Stood A Curiously Wrought Cabinet With Lacquer Panels Of Powdered And Mosaiced Gold, On Which Were Placed Some Delicate Goblets Of Venetian Glass, And A Cup Of Dark-veined Onyx. Pale Poppies Were Broidered On The Silk Coverlet Of The Bed, As Though They Had Fallen From The Tired Hands Of Sleep, And Tall Reeds Of Fluted Ivory Bare Up The Velvet Canopy, From Which Great Tufts Of Ostrich Plumes Sprang, Like White Foam, To The Pallid Silver Of The Fretted Ceiling. A Laughing Narcissus In Green Bronze Held A Polished Mirror Above Its Head. On The Table Stood A Flat Bowl Of Amethyst.
