 never bring misery upon any one。 his nature is too fine for that。;

lord henry looked across the table。 ;dorian is never annoyed with me察─be answered。 ;i asked the question for the best reason possible察for the only reason察indeed察that excuses one for asking any question simple curiosity。 i have a theory that it is always the women who propose to us察and not we who propose to the women。 except察of course察in middle´class life。 but then the middle classes are not modern。;

dorian gray laughed察and tossed his head。 ;you are quite incorrigible察harry察but i dont mind。 it is impossible to be angry with you。 when you see sibyl vane察you will feel that the man who could wrong her would be a beast察a beast without a heart。 i cannot understand how any one can wish to shame the thing he loves。 i love sibyl vane。 i want to place her on a pedestal of gold and to see the world worship the woman who is mine。 what is marriage拭an irrevocable vow。 you mock at it for that。 ah dont mock。 it is an irrevocable vow that i want to take。 her trust makes me faithful察her belief makes me good。 when i am with her察i regret all that you have taught me。 i bee different from what you have known me to be。 i am changed察and the mere touch of sibyl vanes hand makes me forget you and all your wrong察fascinating察poisonous察delightful theories。;

;and those are 。。。 拭─asked lord henry察helping himself to some salad。

;oh察your theories about life察your theories about love察your theories about pleasure。 all your theories察in fact察harry。;

;pleasure is the only thing worth having a theory about察─he answered in his slow melodious voice。 ;but i am afraid i cannot claim my theory as my own。 it belongs to nature察not to me。 pleasure is natures test察her sign of approval。 when we are happy察we are always good察but when we are good察we are not always happy。;

;ah but what do you mean by good拭─cried basil hallward。

;yes察─echoed dorian察leaning back in his chair and looking at lord henry over the heavy clusters of purple´lipped irises that stood in the centre of the table察 what do you mean by good察harry拭

;to be good is to be in harmony with ones self察─he replied察touching the thin stem of his glass with his pale察fine´pointed fingers。 ;discord is to be forced to be in harmony with others。 ones own lifethat is the important thing。 as for the lives of ones neighbours察if one wishes to be a prig or a puritan察one can flaunt ones moral views about them察but they are not ones concern。 besides察individualism has really the higher aim。 modern morality consists in accepting the standard of ones age。 i consider that for any man of culture to accept the standard of his age is a form of the grossest immorality。;

;but察surely察if one lives merely for ones self察harry察one pays a terrible price for doing so拭─suggested the painter。

;yes察we are overcharged for everything nowadays。 i should fancy that the real tragedy of the poor is that they can afford nothing but self´denial。 beautiful sins察like beautiful things察are the privilege of the rich。;

;one has to pay in other ways but money。;

;what sort of ways察basil拭

;oh i should fancy in remorse察in suffering察in 。 。 。 well察in the consciousness of degradation。;

lord henry shrugged his shoulders。 ;my dear fellow察mediaeval art is charming察but mediaeval emotions are out of date。 one can use them in fiction察of course。 but then the only things that one can use in fiction are the things that one has ceased to use in fact。 believe me察no civilized man ever regrets a pleasure察and no uncivilized man ever knows what a pleasure is。;

;i know what pleasure is察─cried dorian gray。 ;it is to adore some one。;

;that is certainly better than being adored察─he answered察toying with some fruits。 ;being adored is a nuisance。 women treat us just as humanity treats its gods。 they worship us察and are always bothering us to do something for them。;

;i should have said that whatever they ask for they had first given to us察─murmured the lad gravely。 ;they create love in our natures。 they have a right to demand it back。;

;that is quite true察dorian察─cried hallward。

;nothing is ever quite true察─said lord henry。

;this is察─interrupted dorian。 ;you must admit察harry察that women give to men the very gold of their lives。;

;possibly察─he sighed察 but they invariably want it back in such very small change。 that is the worry。 women察as some witty frenchman once put it察inspire us with the desire to do masterpieces and always prevent us from carrying them out。;

;harry察you are dreadful i dont know why i like you so much。;

;you will always like me察dorian察─he replied。 ;will you have some coffee察you fellows拭waiter察bring coffee察and fine´champagne察and some cigarettes。 no察dont mind the cigarettesi have some。 basil察i cant allow you to smoke cigars。 you must have a cigarette。 a cigarette is the perfect type of a perfect pleasure。 it is exquisite察and it leaves one unsatisfied。 what more can one want拭yes察dorian察you will always be fond of me。 i represent to you all the sins you have never had the courage to mit。;

;what nonsense you talk察harry ─cried the lad察taking a light from a fire´breathing silver dragon that the waiter had placed on the table。 ;let us go down to the theatre。 when sibyl es on the stage you will have a new ideal of life。 she will represent something to you that you have never known。;

;i have known everything察─said lord henry察with a tired look in his eyes察 but i am always ready for a new emotion。 i am afraid察however察that察for me at any rate察there is no such thing。 still察your wonderful girl may thrill me。 i love acting。 it is so much more real than life。 let us go。 dorian察you will e with me。 i am so sorry察basil察but there is only room for two in the brougham。 you must follow us in a hansom。;

they got up and put on their coats察sipping their coffee standing。 the painter was silent and preoccupied。 there was a gloom over him。 he could not bear this marriage察and yet it seemed to him to be better than many other things that might have happened。 after a few minutes察they all passed downstairs。 he drove off by himself察as had been arranged察and watched the flashing lights of the little brougham in front of him。 a strange sense of loss came over him。 he felt that dorian gray would never again be to him all that he had been in the past。 life had e between them。。。。 his eyes darkened察and the crowded flaring streets became blurred to his eyes。 when the cab drew up at the theatre察it seemed to him that he had grown years older。

chapter 7

for some reason or other察the house was crowded that night察and the fat jew manager who met them at the door was beaming from ear to ear with an oily tremulous smile。 he escorted them to their box with a sort of pompous humility察waving his fat jewelled hands and talking at the top of his voice。 dorian gray loathed him more than ever。 he felt as if he had e to look for miranda and had been met by caliban。 lord henry察upon the other hand察rather liked him。 at least he declared he did察and insisted on shaking him by the hand and assuring him that he was proud to meet a man who had discovered a real genius and gone bankrupt over a poet。 hallward amused himself with watching the faces in the pit。 the heat was terribly oppressive察and the huge sunlight flamed like a monstrous dahlia with petals of yellow fire。 the youths in the gallery had taken off their coats and waistcoats and hung them over the side。 they talked to each other across the theatre and shared their oranges with the tawdry girls who sat beside them。 some women were laughing in the pit。 their voices were horribly shrill and discordant。 the sound of the popping of corks came from the bar。

;what a place to find ones divinity in ─said lord henry。

;yes ─answered dorian gray。 ;it was here i found her察and she is divine beyond all living things。 when she acts察you will forget everything。 these mon rough people察with their coarse faces and brutal gestures察bee quite different when she is on the stage。 they sit silently and watch her。 they weep and laugh as she wills them to do。 she makes them as responsive as a violin。 she spiritualizes them察and one feels that they are of the same flesh and blood as ones self。;

;the same flesh and blood as ones self oh察i hope not ─exclaimed lord henry察who was scanning the occupants of the gallery through his opera´glass。

;dont pay any attention to him察dorian察─said the painter。 ;i understand what you mean察and i believe in this girl。 any one you love must be marvellous察and any girl who has the effect you describe must be fine and noble。 to spiritualize ones agethat is something worth doing。 if this girl can give a soul to those who have lived without one察if she can create the sense of beauty in people whose lives have been sordid and ugly察if she can strip them of their selfishness and lend them tears for sorrows that are not their own察she is worthy of all your adoration察worthy of the adoration of the world。 this marriage is quite right。 i did not think so at first察but i admit it now。 the gods made sibyl vane for you。 without her you would have be
