Nota: No filme de Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Querelle, baseado na obra Querelle de Brest de Jean Genet, Jeanne Moreau interpreta o papel de Madame Lysiane, uma espécie de "coro" unipessoal recolhido à tragédia grega. Passa o filme a entoar uma canção cujos versos pertencem à "Ballad of Reading Gaol" de Oscar Wilde e que rezam assim:
Yet each man kills the thing he loves
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!
Some kill their love when they are young,
And some when they are old;
Some strangle with the hands of Lust,
Some with the hands of Gold:
The kindest use a knife, because
The dead so soon grow cold.
Some love too little, some too long,
Some sell, and others buy;
Some do the deed with many tears,
And some without a sigh:
For each man kills the thing he loves,
Yet each man does not die.
