Happy birthday, @Leah Baxley!

Well, yesterday I read The Nightingale and the Rose. I almost cried. It’s so sad.

Happy birthday, @Leah Baxley!

Oh, I love Oscar Wilde's fairytales so much! They are so beautiful and so sad!

That entire book of stories is just painfully beautiful and so sad!

The Nightingale and the Rose is both one of my favorites and one of my least favorites. So beautiful and terrible at the same time.

Reading it for the first time I had the feeling he thought to be totally useless, like the Nightingale. Himself and his own art: totally useless. You give your heart, your soul, your everything to the others and they throw it away.

Thank you!! I love this!! I’ll definitely have to read this story, even though it’s sad, because so far I’ve only read his plays and “The Picture of Dorian Gray,” but I’m on a mission to read as much as he’s written as I can!

Yeah, the nightingale and the rose is one of those where you walk away going "But WHY SO SAD?!?" Like I get the message - don't sacrifice yourself for the sake of someone else - but also OH GOD!
