'Lady Alroy was simply a woman with a mania for mystery.  She took these rooms for the pleasure of going there with her veil down, and imagining she was a heroine.  She had a passion for secrecy, but she herself was merely a Sphinx without a secret.'

       摘自王尔德的小说。这是我非常喜欢的一篇。她是个谜一样的女人，但她没有秘密，只是偏好秘密而已。狮身人面的女子没有得到爱情，她担心着会丧失隐秘。她害怕人知道其实她根本没有秘密，而是如此空虚。
