Résumé

From his childhood he had been as one filled with the perfect knowledge of God, and even while he was yet but a lad many of the saints, as well as certain holy women who dwelt in the free city of his birth, had been stirred to much wonder by the grave wisdom of his answers.

And when his parents had given him the robe and the ring of manhood he kissed them, and left them and went out into the world, that he might speak to the world about God. For there were at that time many in the world who either knew not God at all, or had but an incomplete knowledge of Him, or worshipped the false gods who dwell in groves and have no care of their worshippers.

And he set his face to the sun and journeyed, walking without sandals, as he had seen the saints walk, and carrying at his girdle a leathern wallet and a little water-bottle of burnt clay.

And as he walked along the highway he was full of the joy that comes from the perfect knowledge of God, and he sang praises unto God without ceasing; and after a time he reached a strange land in which there were many cities.

Auteur

  • Oscar Wilde (auteur)

    Oscar Wilde est né à Dublin, le 16 octobre 1856. Fils d'un chirurgien, il a fait ses études au Trinity College de Dublin, et à Oxford, où il remporta un prix de poésie. Il publie un volume de poèmes en 1881, se marie en 1884, publie en 1888 Le Prince heureux, contes de fées avec quelques sous-entendus satiriques. Accusé d'homosexualité par le marquis de Queensberry, père de Lord Alfred Douglas, le poète commet l'erreur d'attaquer le marquis en justice. Il perd, est arrêté et condamné à deux ans de travaux forcés. Lorsqu'il sort de prison, en 1897, Wilde est un homme ruiné, mis au ban de la société, et brisé moralement. Il finit misérablement sa vie à Paris, rue des Beaux-Arts, le 30 novembre 1900.
