The Picture of Dorian Gray - Wilde, Oscar ยท 78 words
I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die. I am jealous of the portrait you have painted of me. Why should it keep what I must lose. Every moment that passes takes something from me and gives something to it. Oh, if it were only the other way. If the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now. Why did you paint it. It will mock me some day mock me horribly.
