The Picture of Dorian Gray was first published as a serial in Lippencott¿s Monthly Magazine, and the publishers thought it would so offend readers that they removed nearly 500 words without Wilde¿s approval. Wilde soon expanded it and republished it as a novel, including a short preface justifying his art. Even though his contemporaries considered it so offensive that some argued for his prosecution, Dorian Gray today survives as a classic philosophical novel that explores themes of aestheticism and double lives. Couched in Wilde¿s trademark cutting wit, Dorian Gray is still being adapted today, with Dorian and his moldering portrait remaining cultural touchstones.

Leibniz, dit-on, ne faisait cas de la science que parce qu'elle lui donnait le droit d'être écouté quand il parlait de philosophie et de religion. L'idée certes est généreuse et digne de son grand esprit, mais si tous ceux qui abordent ces hautes questions devaient commencer par être des Leibniz, ils deviendraient singulièrement rares. Quelque haut d'ailleurs qu'ils fussent placés, leurs discours éloquents ou vulgaires, orthodoxes ou hérétiques, vaudraient seulement par eux-mêmes et nullement par le nom de l'auteur. Les plus illustres sur ce terrain sont les égaux des plus humbles, et l'autorité n'y peut être acceptée dans aucune mesure. Que les luthériens ne triomphent donc pas pour avoir compté dans leurs rangs Képler et Leibniz, car les catholiques leur opposeraient Descartes et Pascal, et si ces grands hommes se sont hautement déclarés chrétiens, on pourrait, parmi les penseurs les plus libres et les sceptiques les plus hardis, citer des génies du même ordre, au premier rang desquels se place d'Alembert.Le nom de d'Alembert rappelle aux géomètres l'émule de Clairaut et d'Euler, le prédécesseur de Lagrange et de Laplace, le successeur d'Huygens et de Newton; d'Alembert est, pour les lettrés, l'orateur spirituel, dont l'éloquence toujours prête fut, pendant un quart de siècle, pour deux Académies, le plus grand attrait des séances solennelles.

" ThE Willis house was very quiet. The comfortable screened porch was deserted, though a sweater in the hammock and a box of gay paper dolls on the floor showed that it had served as a play-space recently. Inside, not a door banged, not a footfall sounded.The late afternoon June sunshine streamed in through the hall window and made a broad band to the stairway which was in the shadow. The light touched the heads of three girls huddled closely together in the cushioned window-seat and turned the hair of one to gleaming, burnished golden red, another to a fairy web of spun yellow silk and searched out the faint copper tint in the dark locks of the third. The girls sat motionless, their faces turned toward the stairs, as silent as everything else in that silent house."Rosemary!" whispered the dark-haired one suddenly, "Rosemary, you don't think¿"The girl with the gold-red hair, who sat between the other two, started nervously. Her violet blue eyes transferred their anxious gaze from the shadowy staircase to her sister's face."Oh, no!" she said passionately. "No! Do you hear me, Sarah? That couldn't happen to us. Why do you say such things?""I didn't say anything," protested Sarah sullenly. "Did I, Shirley?"The little girl with the fairy-web of yellow hair did not answer. She started from her seat and ran toward the stairs."Hugh's coming!" she cried.Quick, even steps sounded on the hardwood treads and a young man with dark hair, darker eyes behind eye-glasses and a keen, intelligent face, descended rapidly. He picked up the child and strode across the hall to the window-seat."Poor children!" he said compassionately, sitting down beside Rosemary and holding the younger girl in his lap. "Has the time seemed long? I came as quickly as I could."Rosemary looked at him piteously."
