![]() ![]() Some of the most interesting passages here are Wilde's exploration of the nature of Christ. "Whatever is realized is right." What Wilde calls "a failure of the imagination" is the moral evil that afflicts Bosie, and it is only by a necessarily painful growth in self-awareness that this young man can become a fully human, completely realized work of art. ![]() "Shallowness is the only sin." Wilde repeats again and again. This letter from prison written to Lord Alfred "Bosie" Douglas-Wilde's young lover and the occasion of his downfall-urges the young lord to face up to his own reckless past behavior and to seek the knowledge of self that can only be gained through suffering. A superb work of prose, this autobiographical essay in epistolary form is also-although Wilde would never call it so-an unconventional moral exhortation and an impressionistic work of Christology. ![]()
