1Over and over again Dorian used to read this fantastic chapter, and the two chapters immediately following, in which, as
2in some curious tapestries or cunningly wrought enamels, were pictured the awful and beautiful forms of those whom vice
3and blood and weariness had made monstrous or mad: Filippo, Duke of Milan, who slew his wife and painted her lips with a
4scarlet poison that her lover might suck death from the dead thing he fondled; Pietro Barbi, the Venetian, known as Paul
5the Second, who sought in his vanity to assume the title of Formosus, and whose tiara, valued at two hundred thousand
6florins, was bought at the price of a terrible sin; Gian Maria Visconti, who used hounds to chase living men and whose
7murdered body was covered with roses by a harlot who had loved him; the Borgia on his white horse, with Fratricide
8riding beside him and his mantle stained with the blood of Perotto; Pietro Riario, the young Cardinal Archbishop of
9Florence, child and minion of Sixtus IV., whose beauty was equalled only by his debauchery, and who received Leonora of
10Aragon in a pavilion of white and crimson silk, filled with nymphs and centaurs, and gilded a boy that he might serve at
11the feast as Ganymede or Hylas; Ezzelin, whose melancholy could be cured only by the spectacle of death, and who had a
12passion for red blood, as other men have for red wine--the son of the Fiend, as was reported, and one who had cheated
13his father at dice when gambling with him for his own soul; Giambattista Cibo, who in mockery took the name of Innocent
14and into whose torpid veins the blood of three lads was infused by a Jewish doctor; Sigismondo Malatesta, the lover of
15Isotta and the lord of Rimini, whose effigy was burned at Rome as the enemy of God and man, who strangled Polyssena with
16a napkin, and gave poison to Ginevra d'Este in a cup of emerald, and in honour of a shameful passion built a pagan
17church for Christian worship; Charles VI., who had so wildly adored his brother's wife that a leper had warned him of
18the insanity that was coming on him, and who, when his brain had sickened and grown strange, could only be soothed by
19Saracen cards painted with the images of love and death and madness; and, in his trimmed jerkin and jewelled cap and
20acanthuslike curls, Grifonetto Baglioni, who slew Astorre with his bride, and Simonetto with his page, and whose
21comeliness was such that, as he lay dying in the yellow piazza of Perugia, those who had hated him could not choose but
22weep, and Atalanta, who had cursed him, blessed him. There was a horrible fascination in them all. He saw them at night,
23and they troubled his imagination in the day. The Renaissance knew of strange manners of poisoning--poisoning by a
24helmet and a lighted torch, by an embroidered glove and a jewelled fan, by a gilded pomander and by an amber chain.
25Dorian Gray had been poisoned by a book. There were moments when he looked on evil simply as a mode through which he
26could realize his conception of the beautiful.
