Zusammenfassung
„Wie traurig ist das!“ sagte Dorian Gray leise und wandte die Augen nicht von seinem eigenen Bildnis. „Wie traurig ist das! Ich werde alt und gräßlich und widerwärtig werden, aber dieses Bild wird immer jung bleiben. Es wird nie älter sein als dieser Junitag heute...Wenn es nur umgekehrt wäre! Wenn ich immer jung bleiben könnte und dafür das Bild immer älter würde! Dafür — dafür — dafür — gäbe ich alles! Ja, es gibt nichts in der ganzen Welt, was ich nicht dafür gäbe! Ich gäbe meine Seele dafür!“ (Oscar Wilde: Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray).
