The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.天生漂亮异常的道林格雷因见了画家霍华德给他画的真人一样大的肖像，发现了自己惊人的美，又听信了亨利爵士的吹嘘，开始为自己韶华易逝，美貌难久感到痛苦，表示希望那幅肖像能代替自己承担岁月和心灵的负担，而让自己永远保持青春貌美。他的这个想入非非的愿望后来却莫名其妙的实现了。他开始挥霍自己的罪恶，最后这幅肖像却成为了记录恶行的证据，他因肖像而生也因肖像而死。《道林·格雷的画像》具有很强的唯美倾向，不但文辞绚丽，意象新颖，有许多带有王尔德特色的俏皮话，幽默，似非而是之论，矛盾诡辩之辞。虽有时给人堆砌之感，内容却相当独特，值得耐心细读。该书作者王尔德是英国19世纪末期的著名唯美主义文学的最有影响力的作家，以下是该书的序言。从中可以感受到那为艺术而艺术的强烈的唯美主义。该篇词藻华丽，是学习英语文章的典范之一。

Will tugged at his mother's hand and said, Come on, come on...But his mother hung back. She was still afraid. Will looked up and down the narrow street in the evening light, along the little terrace of houses, each behind its tiny garden and its box hedge, with the sun glaring off the windows of one side and leaving the other in shadow. There wasn't much time. People would be having their meal about now, and soon there would be other children around, to stare and comment and notice. It was dangerous to wait, but all he could do was persuade her, as usual.

Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, motivated by all too human temptations, but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love.Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years it has held generation upon generation of scholars, students and readers in rapt attention and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.

Common Sense presented the American colonists with an argument for independence from British rule at a time when the question of independence was still undecided. Paine wrote and reasoned in a style that common people understood; forgoing the philosophy and Latin references used by Enlightenment era writers, Paine structured Common Sense like a sermon and relied on Biblical references to make his case to the people.Historian Gordon S. Wood described Common Sense as, the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era.
