extrait : Le Portrait de Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde

Je travaille actuellement sur deux portraits, celui d'Al Pacino, et celui de Johnny Depp.
En attendant que je poste un aperçu ou le résultat les concernant,
voici un extrait tiré d'un très bon livre ;)



"Vous serez toujours aimé et toujours amoureux de l'amour.
La grande passion est le privilège de ceux qui n'ont rien à faire.
C'est, dans un pays, l'unique raison d'être des classes désoeuvrées.
N'ayez crainte, d'exquises aventures vous attendent,
Ce n'est là qu'un commencement."
Lord Henry à Dorian Gray

Absinthe: The Effects

What about the effects of drinking absinthe? Here are two reports from London and Chicago:
One night I was left sitting, drinking alone, and very late in the Café Royal, and I had just got into the third stage when a waiter came in with a green apron and began to pile the chairs on the tables. “Time to go, sir” he called to me. Then he brought in a watering can and began to water the floor. “Time’s up, sir. I’m afraid you must go now, sir.”
“Waiter, are you watering the flowers?”, I asked but he didn’t answer.
“What are your favorite flowers, waiter?” I asked again. “Now sir, I must really ask you to go now, time’s up, he said firmly. “I’m sure that tulips are your favorite flowers, I said, and as I got up and passed out into the street I felt the heavy tulip heads brushing against my shins.”
Oscar Wilde, London (1890) describes the effects of absinthe drinking
