Stephen Fry nailed the role. :bow:

The world-weary but still amused-by-it-all, see's everyone around him for what they are but loves them anyway, apparent atheist who still bows to his own personal version of providence (and no one else's),...bravo!!

The odd thing is that I just found the Wilde dvd last night. My wife had borrowed it from a friend something like 2 years ago...
I personally think Wilde was much more handsome than Fry. :p

I am Dorian's Portrait
"One should hide it inside of themselves
And never confide it to anyone else,

"One should do what's expected, and normal, and right
And fight off those feelings that come in the night,

"And pray, night and day for a way to conceal it
And watch all you do lest your actions reveal it,

"And I know if I put on a show and deny
Then God will still welcome my soul when I die
And then I...
...I mean you"!,

I think this is the most powerful seletion from the poem. This is where you see this strange conviction and passion, mentioning expectation and such, then revealing the discomfort and root of self-fear.
I loved this poem, and I'm sure our dear Mr. Wilde would be proud of you.

Thank you Poetic-Misprint, this made my day. :)

Actually, just bumping one of my poems would have made my day. This made my week. :p

Beautiful, Quag! Would you mind terribly if I posted it on G+ with a link to this thread?

I'd be flattered, Meth. :yes:

Unless someone stole it, in which case I'd be angry.

But still flattered.
