Not Oscar Wilde. It's from a short story, and I'll accept either the name of the short story, or the name of the collection in which it is found.

Quote:

Xxxxxxxx had known Quinton in wild student days in Paris, and they had renewed the acquaintance for a week-end; but apart from Xxxxxxxx's more responsible developments of late, he did not get on well with the poet now. Choking oneself with opium and writing little erotic verses on vellum was not his notion of how a gentleman should go to the devil.

If no one has it by tomorrow, I'll fill in the xed-out name and that should at least point someone to the series. It won't point anyone to the book, however, because he's a recurring figure in the books.
