This just didn’t do anything for me. Definitely one to be taught if you want to get anything out of it, but even then I just didn’t connect.

The final chapter of this book, only a few pages long, is really all that I think I needed to know of it. Oscar Wilde loved this book and studied under Pater, but of course what spoke to me was what spoke to everyone that read it: "To burn always with this hard, gemlike flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life." I think I'm going to have to head over to [b:Marius the Epicurean|626363|Marius the Epicurean|Walter Pater|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1334835995s/626363.jpg|1443058] instead for more of that particular genre of singular Decadent heroes that my thesis has evolved into.
