Oscar Wilde
What else can I do?
Christ came
from a white plain to a purple city, and as He passed through the first
street, He heard voices overhead, and saw a young man lying drunk upon
a windowsill. "Why do you waste your soul in drunkenness?"; he
answered: "Lord, I was a leper and You healed me,
what else can I do?". A little further through the town, he
saw a young man following a harlot, and said: "Why do you dissolve your
soul in debauchery?" ; the man answered: "Lord, I was blind, and you
healed me; what else
can I do?". At last in the middle of the city, He saw an old man
crouching, weeping upon the ground, and when He asked why he wept, the
old man answered: "Lord, I was was dead, and You raised me into life,
what else can I do but weep?"
