The Nightingale and the Rose
by Oscar Wilde
"Here indeed is the true lover," said the Nightingale. "What I sing of, he suffers - what is joy to me, to him is pain. Surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the marketplace. It may not be purchased of the merchants, nor can it be weighted out in the balance for gold."
That is my new favorite quote.
I thought that finally, I would get an Oscar Wilde story that wasn't cynical and bitter. I was wrong. But this was still a beautiful story that almost made me cry. The Nightingale is the sweetest, most pure-hearted Oscar Wilde character I have ever read about. I'm mad, but also satisfied by this story. It's realistic, but sad.
