@stephenfry I just have to mention the Czech TV version of the story https://youtu.be/QCzs9eJIMHM which is extremely well played, and which made this extremely popular here (we have now many radio, theatre and other productions). It's #Wilde !

#Nature #Today zegt in haar artikel:

De vraag of er ruimte is voor #wolven in ons land wordt regelmatig gesteld, maar het is aan wolven, als #inheemse #wilde #dieren, om dat zelf uit te maken. We delen deze wereld met andere soorten en het past ons om daar rekening mee te houden. Juridisch is het simpel: de wolf is een beschermde diersoort, dus of je nu voor of tegen bent, dit #toproofdier hoort daar waar hij of zij zelf een #leefgebied uitkiest.

This operatic fable, based on a fairy story by Oscar Wilde, was originally written in 1976 but, apart from excerpts, has not been performed complete before now; the recording was originally scheduled for the composer’s seventieth birthday in 2020, but was delayed by the recent pandemic.

Algernon: “Oh! I am not really wicked at all, cousin Cecily. You mustn’t think that I am wicked.”

Cecily: “If you are not, then you have certainly been deceiving us all in a very inexcusable manner. I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being really good all the time. That would be hypocrisy.”

"You will always like me, Dorian," said Lord Henry... "Waiter .. bring fine-champagne, and some cigarettes... Basil, I can't allow you to smoke cigars. You must have a cigarette. A cigarette is the perfect type of a perfect pleasure. It is exquisite, and it leaves one unsatisfied. What more can you want?- Yes, Dorian, you will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you have never had the courage to commit"

Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man’s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and rebellion.

Oscar Wilde - From the Preface to the 'Picture of Dorian Gray'

It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital.
When critics disagree the artist is in accord with himself. We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.
