La maison de la courtisane

by Oscar Wilde

Overview

Nous perçumes le bruit cadencé de pas de danseurs; nous suivîmes, en flanant, la rue éclairée par la lune et nous arrêtâmes devant la maison de la Courtisane.
De l'intérieur, à travers le tumulte, le désordre, nous entendions les musiciens jouer à grand bruit le Coeur cher et fidèle de Strauss.
Pareilles à d'étranges et grotesques pantins, décrivant de fantastiques arabesques, des ombres couraient sur le store.
Nous regardions les danseurs-fantômes tournoyer aux sons du cornet-à-piston et du violon, comme des feuilles noires que le vent fait tourbillonner.

About the Author

The ever-quotable Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet who delighted Victorian England with his legendary wit. He found critical and popular success with his scintillating plays, chiefly The Importance of Being Earnest, while his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, scandalized readers. Imprisoned for two years for homosexual behavior, Wilde moved to France after his release, where he died destitute.
