Have you read 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' ? It's really good, I recommend it.

I actually wrote a paper on this a few months ago for my last English seminar in college... I studied the use of music in the work. I actually read through it in great detail a second (and third) time and marked every single instance in which music in any shape or form was mentioned. I then made a 3-page index on Microsoft Word of them, which I used as my main reference in writing the paper. It was tedious but well worth the effort.

Your quote can be attributed to Lord Henry, no?

My avatar is obviously a wolf.  Wolves have always fascinated me and "spoke to me", so to speak.  I once created a scratchboard piece of art, and it was a portrait of a wolf.  It was my favorite. I was also particularly good at sketching wolves and equus.

I chose the wolf on the left because I find it beautiful. The snarl is a gesture commanding respect, not necessarily condoning violence.

Wolves have fascinated me because of their sense of affinity towards one another. Such companionship and ensemble is rarely paralleled in this world.

You are in good company. Mrs. Rock loves wolves too, and I'm sure you know Hélène Grimaud owns a nature reserve devoted to wolves.

Mine is Anton Bruckner, but I have seen several other Bruckner avatars floating around, so maybe it is time for a change?
