"Death is a great price to pay for a red rose," cried the Nightingale, "and Life is very dear to all. It is pleasant to sit in the green wood, and to watch the Sun in his chariot of gold, and the Moon in her chariot of pearl. Sweet is the scent of the hawthorn, and sweet are the bluebells that hide in the valley, and the heather that blows on the hill. Yet Love is better than Life, and what is the heart of a bird compared to the heart of a man?"

"What I a silly thing Love is. It is not half as useful as Logic, for it does not prove anything, and it is always telling one of things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true. In fact, it is quite unpractical, and, as in this age to be practical is everything, I shall go back to Philosophy and study Metaphysics."

Such a tragic and beautifully written story. Marvelously filled with real emotions in such a short number of pages. <3

Short story, but really tragic. It's really... interesting how Oscar Wilde perceives everything. They way he writes is conveyed so beautifully bitter.
Anyways, the story takes a quick turn like it starts out so nice and peaceful wow such nice frolicking birds and lizards and shit but then it gets dark SO quickly. Kind of like [b: The Happy Prince|79121|The Happy Prince|Oscar Wilde|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1387700803s/79121.jpg|244691], you think it is so nice at first but it is so sad. LITERAL. The way he ends all his stuff is so morbid like worst case scenario. SPOILER (even though it's like 4 pages lmao): "...and he threw the rose into the street, where it fell into the gutter, and a cart-wheel went over it." This nightingale just died over this red rose, SINGING AND PRESSING A THORN AGAINST ITSELF, for a flower and it just ends up being stomped on in the gutter. lmao ok Wilde. You did good.. you did good.
