Der Priester und der Messnerknabe ist eine Erzählung von Oscar Wilde: »Oh, mein Vater, ich habe gesündigt, gib mir deinen Segen.« Der Priester hob seinen Kopf auf; er war müde an Geist und Körper, seine Seele traurig und sein Herz schwer. Er saß in der bedrückenden Einsamkeit des Beichtstuhles und musste die immer gleichen Sünden anhören. Er war müde des alten Tones und der heuchlerischen Ausdrucksweise. Wollte die Welt immer die gleiche bleiben? Fast zwanzig Jahrhunderte lang haben die Priester im Beichtstuhl gesessen und der nämlichen alten Weise gelauscht.

Author Oscar Wilde was known for his acclaimed works including 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' and 'The Importance of Being Earnest,' as well as his brilliant wit, flamboyant style and infamous imprisonment for homosexuality.Who Was Oscar Wilde?Author, playwright and poet Oscar Wilde was a popular literary figure in late Victorian England. After graduating from Oxford University, he lectured as a poet, art critic and a leading proponent of the principles of aestheticism. In 1891, he published The Picture of Dorian Gray, his only novel which was panned as immoral by Victorian critics, but is now considered one of his most notable works. As a dramatist, many of Wildes plays were well received including his satirical comedies Lady Windermere's Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), his most famous play. Unconventional in his writing and life, Wildes affair with a young man led to his arrest on charges of "gross indecency" in 1895. He was imprisoned for two years and died in poverty three years after his release at the age of 46.
