The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from De Profundis by Oscar Wilde: tried to give the fullest possible expression of the delight I
really felt at our meeting. And that, in the views and ideas I am
here shaping for myself, I am quite right is shown to me by the
fact that now for the first time since my imprisonment I have a
real desire for life.
There is before me so much to do, that I would regard it as a
terrible tragedy if I died before I was allowed to complete at any
rate a little of it. I see new developments in art and life, each
one of which is a fresh mode of perfection. I long to live so that
I can explore what is no less than a new world to me. Do you want
to know what this new world is? I think you can guess what it is.
