It is not only Wilde's romantic affair, but also objectively and poetically presents the tragedy of Wilde's aestheticism against the times by means of tragedy. Even if the times are ignorant, and the artistic ideas that are against morality are absurd, love will always be pure and innocent.
Yet each man kills the thing he loves
By each, let this be heard.
I wish everyone could hear this
Some do it with a bitter look
someone with an ugly face
Some with a flattering word
Some people use sweet words and sweet words
The coward does it with a kiss
cowards mostly kiss
The brave man with a word
Brave talents with swords
Some kill their love when they are young
Someone was young when they killed their lover
And some when they are old
And someone is old
Some strangle with the hand of lust
Someone pinched with lustful hands
Some with the hands of gold
someone used gold and silver money sand
The kindest use a knife, because
The most merciful with a knife
The dead so soon grow cold
Let the dead cool down quickly
Some love too little, some too long
Some people love too little or too much
Some sell and others buy
Some people sell love or buy love
Some do the deed with many tears
Someone did this with tears in their eyes
And some without a sigh
Some people do not leave a sigh
For each man kill the thing he loves
Because everyone kills the one he loves
