Description
Excerpt from Novels and Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde
Now, the beauty of Dorian was of that kind which depends on colour and expression for its charm. His hair was bright and wavy; the ruddiness of health suffused his cheeks; his eyes sparkled with wholesome fuy, good humour, and high thoughts. He was the sort of boy who makes the world seem jolly even when the east wind blows. Goodness and merriment radiated from him visibly; the darkest room appeared to glow and brighten when he entered it.
What a pity such a glorious creature should ever grow old, sighed Wilde.
