In my senior seminar course this semester, we read Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. While discussing the novel, Dr. Bieber expressed frustration whenever we would make a comment about one of the three main male characters without distinguishing which "he" we meant. Viola!
We three "he's" of Dorian are
Pondering life, yet we just mar.
Actress slaying, self-hating,
We have made beauty our star.
O art is wondrous, art is might,
Art is languid, truth, and right,
Inward leading, self-deceiving,
Make us into perfect frights.
(Sing to the tune of "We Three Kings")
