"Yes, you have killed my love"
he repeated. " I love you because you were marvellous, because you had
genius and intellect. You have thrown it all away. You are shallow and
stupid. My God! How mad I was to love you! What a fool I have been! You
are nothing to me now. I will never see you again. Without your art you
are nothing."
The girl trembled. " You are not serious, Dorian?" she murmured. She put her hand on his arm.
"Don't touch me!" he cried.
She threw herself at his feet and lay there like a trampled flower.
"Don't leave me!" she
whispered."Can't you forgive me for tonight? I will work so hard and
try to improve. Don't be cruel to me because I love you better than
anything in the world. Oh, don't leave me!"
The same night, she killed herself.
