But it appeared to Dorian Gray that the true nature of the senses had never been understood, and that they had remained savage and animal merely because the world had sought to starve them into submission or to kill them by pain, instead of aiming at making them elements of a new spirituality, of which a fine instinct for beauty was to be the dominant characteristic.
Dorian Grayri iruditzen zitzaion ordea, ez zela zentzuen benetako natura inoiz ondo ulertua izan, eta forma animal eta basati batean segi izan zutela hauek, bakar bakarrik, munduak gosetan akabatu edota oinazetan hil nahi izan zituelako, bere mendean zapalduta edukita; zentzuak, edertasunarekiko zentzu fina ezaugarri rfagusiena bezala edukiko zuen izpiritualitate berri baten elementu bilakatzea bilatu beharrean.
