Novel Cache: The Picture of Dorian Gray Traditional Cache
Mario McTavish: The water level had dropped but sadly Dorian was nowhere to be found. I've decided to archive this one. Thanks to all that have found it. [:)]
Novel Cache: The Picture of Dorian Gray
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This is a disguised cache with log but no pen.
This cache is dedicated to the only published novel by Oscar Wilde, "The Picture of Dorian Gray".
It tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Basil is impressed by Dorian's beauty and becomes infatuated with him, believing his beauty is responsible for a new mode in his art.
Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of Basil's, and becomes enthralled by Lord Henry's world view. Espousing a new hedonism, Lord Henry suggests the only things worth pursuing in life are beauty and fulfillment of the senses.
Realizing that one day his beauty will fade, Dorian (whimsically) expresses a desire to sell his soul to ensure the portrait Basil has painted would age rather than himself. Dorian's wish is fulfilled, plunging him into debauched acts.
The Novel Cache series is a mixture of interesting containers and varying sizes, some of which can accommodate small swaps and TB's.
We hope you enjoy finding them as much as we enjoyed placing them.
