Oscar Wilde,
Poems in Prose — The House of Judgement
(1894)
“ And again God opened the Book of the Life of the Man.And God said to the Man, `Thy life hath been evil, and the Beauty I have shown thou hast sought for, and the Good I have hidden thou didst pass by. The walls of thy chamber were painted with images, and from the bed of thine abominations thou didst rise up to the sound of flutes. ”
