[오늘의 한문장] 은랑전

나는 엄마에게 인간의 의식을 스캔하기란 너무나 어렵다거나, 실리콘에서 탄소 기반 연산 과정을 재현하기란 너무나 복잡하다거나, 인간의 연약한 뇌라는 하드웨어를 마침내 업그레이드하는 날은 너무나 가까워 보이면서도 한편으로는 너무나 멀게 느껴진다거나 하는 얘기를 들려준다. 대부분 나의 독백이다.

Civilization is not by any me...

Civilization is not by any means an easy thing to attain to. There are only two ways by which man can reach it. One is by being cultured, the other by being corrupt. Country people have no opportunity of being either, so they stagnate.

"Culture and corruption," echoed Dorian. "I have known something of both. It seems terrible to me now that they should ever be found together. For I have a new ideal, Harry. I am going to alter. I think I have altered."

I should fancy that crime was to them what art is to us, simply a method of procuring extraordinary sensations.

It used to remind me of those curious lines in some play--Hamlet, I think--how do they run?--
  
  "Like the painting of a sorrow,
  A face without a heart."

Lord Henry laughed. "If a man treats life artistically, his brain is his heart," he answered, sinking into an arm-chair.

Dorian Gray shook his head and struck some soft chords on the piano. "‘Like the painting of a sorrow,‘" he repeated, "‘a face without a heart.‘"

"By the way, Dorian," he said after a pause, "‘what does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose--how does the quotation run?--his own soul‘?"

"Don‘t, Harry. The soul is a terrible reality. It can be bought, and sold, and bartered away. It can be poisoned, or made perfect. There is a soul in each one of us. I know it."

"I wish I could love," cried Dorian Gray with a deep note of pathos in his voice. "But I seem to have lost the passion and forgotten the desire. I am too much concentrated on myself. My own personality has become a burden to me. I want to escape, to go away, to forget. It was silly of me to come down here at all. I think I shall send a wire to Harvey to have the yacht got ready. On a yacht one is safe."

"It is an annoying subject," broke in Lord Henry. "It has no psychological value at all. Now if Geoffrey had done the thing on purpose, how interesting he would be! I should like to know some one who had committed a real murder."

He shook his head. "Knowledge would be fatal. It is the uncertainty that charms one. A mist makes things wonderful."

He was determined not to sleep another night at Selby Royal. It was an ill-omened place. Death walked there in the sunlight. The grass of the forest had been spotted with blood.

Once the mare swerved at a white gate-post and nearly threw him. He lashed her across the neck with his crop. She cleft the dusky air like an arrow. The stones flew from her hoofs.

‘My dear Gladys, I would not ...

‘My dear Gladys, I would not alter either name for the world. They are both perfect. I was thinking chiefly of flowers. Yesterday I cut an orchid, for my button-hole. It was a marvellous spotted thing, as effective as the seven deadly sins. In a thoughtless moment I asked one of the gardeners what it was called. He told me it was a fine specimen of Robinsoniana, or something dreadful of that kind. It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. Names are everything. I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words. That is the reason I hate vulgar realism in literature. The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one. It is the only thing he is fit for.’ - P163

‘Ugliness is one of the seven deadly virtues, Gladys. You, as a good Tory, must not underrate them. Beer, the Bible, and the seven deadly virtues have made our England what she is.’ - P164

‘They are more cunning than practical. When they make up their ledger, they balance stupidity by wealth, and vice by hypocrisy.’ - P164

‘Never! Scepticism is the beginning of faith.’ - P165

‘Not with women,’ said the duchess, shaking her head; ‘and women rule the world. I assure you we can‘t bear mediocrities. We women, as some one says, love with our ears, just as you men love with your eyes, if you ever love at all.’ - P165
