The Picture of Dorian Gray

The nineteenth century dislike of romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a...

In the centre of the room, clamped to an upright easel, stood the full length portrait of a young...

Lord Henry elevated his eyebrows and looked at him in amazement through the thin blue wreaths of...

Oh, I cant explain. When I like people immensely, I never tell their names to any one. It is like...

Being natural is simply a pose, and the most irritating pose I know, cried Lord Henry, laughing;...

The wind shook some blossoms from the trees, and the heavy lilac blooms, with their clustering...

I could not get rid of her. She brought me up to royalties, and people with stars and garters, and...

How horribly unjust of you. cried Lord Henry, tilting his hat back and looking up at the little...

He is all my art to me now, said the painter gravely. I sometimes think, Harry, that there are only...

I hate them for it, cried Hallward. An artist should create beautiful things, but should put...

Ah, my dear Basil, that is exactly why I can feel it. Those who are faithful know only the trivial...

As they entered they saw Dorian Gray. He was seated at the piano, with his back to them, turning...

I am in Lady Agathas black books at present, answered Dorian with a funny look of penitence. I...

The painter had been busy mixing his colours and getting his brushes ready. He was looking worried,...

Basil, cried Dorian Gray, if Lord Henry Wotton goes, I shall go, too. You never open your lips...

Dorian Gray stepped up on the dais with the air of a young Greek martyr, and made a little moue of...

And yet, continued Lord Henry, in his low, musical voice, and with that graceful wave of the hand...

Yes; there had been things in his boyhood that he had not understood. He understood them now. Life...

You know you believe it all, said Lord Henry, looking at him with his dreamy languorous eyes. I...

The lad started and drew back. He was bareheaded, and the leaves had tossed his rebellious curls...

Let us go and sit in the shade, said Lord Henry. Parker has brought out the drinks, and if you stay...

Always. That is a dreadful word. It makes me shudder when I hear it. Women are so fond of using it....

After about a quarter of an hour Hallward stopped painting, looked for a long time at Dorian Gray,...

How sad it is. murmured Dorian Gray with his eyes still fixed upon his own portrait. How sad it is....

I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die. I am jealous of the portrait you have painted...

With a stifled sob the lad leaped from the couch, and, rushing over to Hallward, tore the knife out...

There came a knock at the door, and the butler entered with a laden tea tray and set it down upon a...

Very well, said Hallward, and he went over and laid down his cup on the tray. It is rather late,...

Yes, murmured Lord Henry, settling his button hole in his coat; and when they grow older they know...

Kelsos grandson. echoed the old gentleman. Kelsos grandson. ... Of course.... I knew his mother...

It is. That is the reason why, like Eve, they are so excessively anxious to get out of it, said...

Suddenly he stopped and glanced up at the houses. He found that he had passed his aunts some...

Oh. but I have seen specimens of the inhabitants, answered the duchess vaguely. I must confess that...

Was that a paradox. asked Mr. Erskine. I did not think so. Perhaps it was. Well, the way of...

Lord Henry laughed. I dont desire to change anything in England except the weather, he answered. I...

He played with the idea and grew wilful; tossed it into the air and transformed it; let it escape...

I fear you are right, answered Mr. Erskine. I myself used to have literary ambitions, but I gave...

Lord Henry had not yet come in. He was always late on principle, his principle being that...

Ah. that is one of Harrys views, isnt it, Mr. Gray. I always hear Harrys views from his friends. It...

I dare say, my dear, said Lord Henry, shutting the door behind her as, looking like a bird of...

I will tell you, Harry, but you mustnt be unsympathetic about it. After all, it never would have...

Well, I found myself seated in a horrid little private box, with a vulgar drop scene staring me in...

People like you the wilful sunbeams of life dont commit crimes, Dorian. But I am much obliged for...

Then he asked me if I wrote for any of the newspapers. I told him I never even read them. He seemed...

The third night. She had been playing Rosalind. I could not help going round. I had thrown her some...

Sibyl is the only thing I care about. What is it to me where she came from. From her little head to...

Lord Henry watched him with a subtle sense of pleasure. How different he was now from the shy...

Dear Basil. I have not laid eyes on him for a week. It is rather horrid of me, as he has sent me my...

As he left the room, Lord Henrys heavy eyelids drooped, and he began to think. Certainly few people...

Soul and body, body and soul how mysterious they were. There was animalism in the soul, and the...

While Lord Henry sat dreaming on these things, a knock came to the door, and his valet entered and...

Mrs. Vane winced and put her thin, bismuth whitened hands on her daughters head. Happy. she echoed,...

Thin lipped wisdom spoke at her from the worn chair, hinted at prudence, quoted from that book of...

The elder woman grew pale beneath the coarse powder that daubed her cheeks, and her dry lips...

My son, dont say such dreadful things, murmured Mrs. Vane, taking up a tawdry theatrical dress,...

Quite ready, James, she answered, keeping her eyes on her work. For some months past she had felt...

My son, you distress me very much. Sibyl is always under my special care. Of course, if this...

Yet it was not this alone that made him gloomy and morose. Inexperienced though he was, he had...

She laughed and took his arm. You dear old Jim, you talk as if you were a hundred. Some day you...

He jumped up and seized her roughly by the arm. Show him to me. Which is he. Point him out. I must...

Oh, dont be so serious, Jim. You are like one of the heroes of those silly melodramas Mother used...

His mother was waiting for him below. She grumbled at his unpunctuality, as he entered. He made no...

She shook her head. I knew he was not free. We loved each other very much. If he had lived, he...

No, Harry, answered the artist, giving his hat and coat to the bowing waiter. What is it. Nothing...

I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take towards life. We...

And I dont forgive you for being late for dinner, broke in Lord Henry, putting his hand on the lads...

Lord Henry looked across the table. Dorian is never annoyed with me, he answered. I asked the...

To be good is to be in harmony with ones self, he replied, touching the thin stem of his glass with...

Possibly, he sighed, but they invariably want it back in such very small change. That is the worry....

I have known everything, said Lord Henry, with a tired look in his eyes, but I am always ready for...

Yes. answered Dorian Gray. It was here I found her, and she is divine beyond all living things....

A quarter of an hour afterwards, amidst an extraordinary turmoil of applause, Sibyl Vane stepped on...

She looked charming as she came out in the moonlight. That could not be denied. But the staginess...

They are both simply forms of imitation, remarked Lord Henry. But do let us go. Dorian, you must...

As soon as it was over, Dorian Gray rushed behind the scenes into the greenroom. The girl was...

She looked at him in wonder and laughed. He made no answer. She came across to him, and with her...

A low moan broke from her, and she flung herself at his feet and lay there like a trampled flower....

As the dawn was just breaking, he found himself close to Covent Garden. The darkness lifted, and,...

He turned round and, walking to the window, drew up the blind. The bright dawn flooded the room and...

He threw himself into a chair and began to think. Suddenly there flashed across his mind what he...

No; it was merely an illusion wrought on the troubled senses. The horrible night that he had passed...

It was long past noon when he awoke. His valet had crept several times on tiptoe into the room to...

As soon as he was dressed, he went into the library and sat down to a light French breakfast that...

Then he rose from the table, lit a cigarette, and flung himself down on a luxuriously cushioned...

As he often remembered afterwards, and always with no small wonder, he found himself at first...

He made no answer at first, but remained quite still. The knocking still continued and grew louder....

Yes, Harry, I know what you are going to say. Something dreadful about marriage. Dont say it. Dont...

It is quite true, Dorian, said Lord Henry, gravely. It is in all the morning papers. I wrote down...

Yes; it is very tragic, of course, but you must not get yourself mixed up in it. I see by The...

I suppose it would, muttered the lad, walking up and down the room and looking horribly pale. But I...

It is an interesting question, said Lord Henry, who found an exquisite pleasure in playing on the...

I am afraid that women appreciate cruelty, downright cruelty, more than anything else. They have...

Ah, then, said Lord Henry, rising to go, then, my dear Dorian, you would have to fight for your...

Poor Sibyl. What a romance it had all been. She had often mimicked death on the stage. Then Death...

For a moment, he thought of praying that the horrible sympathy that existed between him and the...

I am so glad I have found you, Dorian, he said gravely. I called last night, and they told me you...

What has the actual lapse of time got to do with it. It is only shallow people who require years to...

No, said Dorian Gray, there is nothing fearful about it. It is one of the great romantic tragedies...

Only my Christian name, and that I am quite sure she never mentioned to any one. She told me once...

If you try to look at it, Basil, on my word of honour I will never speak to you again as long as I...

To exhibit it. You want to exhibit it. exclaimed Dorian Gray, a strange sense of terror creeping...

Basil, he said, coming over quite close and looking him straight in the face, we have each of us a...

I see you did. Dont speak. Wait till you hear what I have to say. Dorian, from the moment I met...

Oh, Harry. cried the lad, with a ripple of laughter. Harry spends his days in saying what is...

He sighed and touched the bell. The portrait must be hidden away at all costs. He could not run...

And here is the key, sir, said the old lady, going over the contents of her bunch with tremulously...

He took up from the couch the great purple and gold texture that covered it, and, holding it in his...

What can I do for you, Mr. Gray. he said, rubbing his fat freckled hands. I thought I would do...

I will show you the way, Mr. Hubbard, if you will kindly follow me. Or perhaps you had better go in...

He had not entered the place for more than four years not, indeed, since he had used it first as a...

Dorian started. It would not interest you, Mr. Hubbard, he said, keeping his eye on the man. He...

On reaching the library, he found that it was just after five oclock and that the tea had been...

He frowned, and tearing the paper in two, went across the room and flung the pieces away. How ugly...

Cloudless, and pierced by one solitary star, a copper green sky gleamed through the windows. He...

For the wonderful beauty that had so fascinated Basil Hallward, and many others besides him, seemed...

Yet he was not really reckless, at any rate in his relations to society. Once or twice every month...

The worship of the senses has often, and with much justice, been decried, men feeling a natural...

It was the creation of such worlds as these that seemed to Dorian Gray to be the true object, or...

And so he would now study perfumes and the secrets of their manufacture, distilling heavily scented...

He discovered wonderful stories, also, about jewels. In Alphonsos Clericalis Disciplina a serpent...

Then he turned his attention to embroideries and to the tapestries that performed the office of...

For these treasures, and everything that he collected in his lovely house, were to be to him means...

Yet he was afraid. Sometimes when he was down at his great house in Nottinghamshire, entertaining...

Yet these whispered scandals only increased in the eyes of many his strange and dangerous charm....

The hero of the wonderful novel that had so influenced his life had himself known this curious...

He was walking home about eleven oclock from Lord Henrys, where he had been dining, and was wrapped...

No. I am going to be out of England for six months. I intend to take a studio in Paris and shut...

Hallward shook his head, as he entered, and followed Dorian into the library. There was a bright...

Thanks, I wont have anything more, said the painter, taking his cap and coat off and throwing them...

Stop, Basil. You are talking about things of which you know nothing, said Dorian Gray, biting his...

A bitter laugh of mockery broke from the lips of the younger man. You shall see it yourself, to...

He turned round. What I have to say is this, he cried. You must give me some answer to these...

He passed out of the room and began the ascent, Basil Hallward following close behind. They walked...

An exclamation of horror broke from the painters lips as he saw in the dim light the hideous face...

Years ago, when I was a boy, said Dorian Gray, crushing the flower in his hand, you met me,...

His hand shook, and the candle fell from its socket on the floor and lay there sputtering. He...

There was a stifled groan and the horrible sound of some one choking with blood. Three times the...

How quickly it had all been done. He felt strangely calm, and walking over to the window, opened it...

Having locked the door behind him, he crept quietly downstairs. The woodwork creaked and seemed to...

A sudden thought struck him. He put on his fur coat and hat and went out into the hall. There he...

The man had to touch him twice on the shoulder before he woke, and as he opened his eyes a faint...

He felt that if he brooded on what he had gone through he would sicken or grow mad. There were sins...

As soon as he was alone, he lit a cigarette and began sketching upon a piece of paper, drawing...

The whole of Venice was in those two lines. He remembered the autumn that he had passed there, and...

This was the man Dorian Gray was waiting for. Every second he kept glancing at the clock. As the...

After a strained moment of silence, he leaned across and said, very quietly, but watching the...

You are mad, I tell you mad to imagine that I would raise a finger to help you, mad to make this...

Murder. Good God, Dorian, is that what you have come to. I shall not inform upon you. It is not my...

The dead linger sometimes. The man upstairs will not go away. He is sitting at the table with bowed...

I am so sorry for you, Alan, he murmured, but you leave me no alternative. I have a letter written...
