Love all the symbolism and imagery. Such a beautifully written piece. Striking but poetically beautiful ending.

"Das Leben wird nicht von Wille oder Vorsätzen beherrscht. Das Leben ist eine Sache von Nerven, Fasern und langsam aufgebauten Zellen, in denen sich das Denken verbirgt und die Leidenschaft ihre Träume hat."

"Each man sees his own sin in Dorian Gray." Oh how painfully true that quote was from Oscar Wilde. This book is a masterpiece. The whole book is full of marvelously written words.
