Смерть в Венеции
In the "Death In Venice" miniseries, a beggar (who is not entirely reliable) claims that he exchanged one of his eyes for one offered to him by the Corinthian, and that he called him by the first thing he saw when he opened his new eye–a Corinthian pillar. Later in "Death in Venice," the Corinthian refers to himself as "the dream rot."
