"The wind shook some blossoms from the trees, and the heavy lilac blooms, with their clustering stars, moved to and fro in the languid air. A grasshopper began to chirrup by the wall, and like a blue thread a long thin dragonfly floated past on its brown gauze wings. Lord Henry felt as if he could hear Basil Hallward's heart beating, and wondered what was coming." - pg 9
This quote creates imagery, which means that it appeals to the reader's senses. This part is when Basil is about to tell Lord Henry of the time he met Dorian Gray, and Lord Henry starts to get more interested in Dorian as he lostens to the time they met.
