Oscar Wilde. Vera, or the Nihilists (№ 293323)

What subtle power hidden in this tacky trinket in the crown that causes a person to feel like a deity when he wears it? Keep in palms this little bright world, a wave of the hand to reach the extreme limits of the earth, to sailing, to turn the land into a white trail for Hiking his troops - that is to wear the crown! The last man in Russia, who someone loves, crowned better than I do. About how love shifts the scales! How poor appears the greatest Empire of this world compared to love!
