I had to read this story you talked about. CURSE MY CURIOSITY. What a beautiful story, I love Oscar Wilde so very very very much, but you are not alone. I was sobbing like a little girl at the very end. God it's like I was playing Dragon Age again. *laughs*

I AM SO SORRY TO HAVE PIQUED YOUR CURIOSITY AT THE COST OF MAKING YOU CRY. D:

But it is a totally beautiful story. This seminar is pretty much my first experience with Oscar Wilde (I went into it having read only the first half of De Profundis, his jail letter, which I would also not call fun times), and I have to say, so far my two chief responses are:

a) could this guy possibly use more crazy awesome amazing words to make his sentences longer if he tried?
b) why is everything ending so fucking badly?

For you this is Dragon Age; for me this is finding John Steinbeck's The Red Pony at ten and thinking, 'cool, a horse story!', only to have my mother shake her head at my subsequent tearful devastation and say, "What? I warned you before you got started." (<-- I so wish I were kidding about that.)
