my absolute favourite by wilde. the tone and prose is so lyrical it makes my heart glad.
So short and so tragic…
I am speechless this was so sad and heartbreaking.
This story was truly powerful.

This was one of the most beautiful things I have read. Its cadence is beyond poetry, it's like music needless of sound, regardless of it being prose.
It is very short, so one can read it in no time, and it is a true masterpiece. The Nightingale and the Rose contains so many views in so few words and conveys as many feelings as it could.
Love is the core of this short story, and while a single paragraph of it contains the essence of every love story, the rest transcends any cliché.

One of the most affecting fairy tales I had read, with a writing style that is so unnecessarily beautiful that the imagery in itself has a substantial power to move. I've become obsessed with Oscar Wilde and his views on art and morality and his unconventionality. In a tragic twist, the already melancholic story of a passionate self-sacrifice turns into one that doesn't force a moral upon you, but instead makes you think about the events of the fairy tale over and over and over again.
This I truly admire, the aim is not to deliver a straight-forward message but to provoke-thought and emotion instead.
