💬 Quotations

Yes, there would be a day when his face would be wrinkled and wizen, his eyes dim and colourless, the grace of his figure broken and deformed. The scarlet would pass away from his lips and the gold steal from his hair.

Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

To wither; to become, or make, lean and wrinkled by shrinkage, as from age or illness.
