Abstract

Here I argue the need to listen to the poets, especially those who follow the line of Oscar Wilde and Shakespeare, when the poets tell us that they are as if required to play as they do their work of text making (poetry) for persuasion, to play and be ignorant of moral codes and to deny they do any work in that line, or those lines.

Keywords: rhetoric, censorship, Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde
