A nightingale overhears a student complaining that his professor's daughter will not dance with him, as he is unable to give her a red rose. The nightingale visits all the rose-trees in the garden, and one of the white roses tell her that there's a way to produce a red rose, but only if the nightingale is prepared to sing the sweetest song for the rose all night, and sacrifice her life to do so. Seeing the student in tears, the nightingale carries out the ritual, and impales herself on the rose-tree's thorn so that her heart's blood can stain the rose. The student takes the rose to the professor's daughter, but she again rejects him because another man has sent her some real jewels, and "everybody knows that jewels cost far more than flowers." The student angrily throws the rose into the gutter, returns to his study of metaphysics, and decides not to believe in true love anymore.

It is honestly hard to share my feelings on this. I love Oscar Wilde but this story is so sad. Yet does represent society sometimes. I try to keep a more positive outlook but can see how one can have a hard time and see life in this color of red.Product details

The Nightingale and the Rose edition by Oscar Wilde Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I enjoyed it yes but gracious it is sad!
The nightingale in this story is my favorite tragic heroine. Just as most things in life are easier than we expect them to be, the nightingale affords the human the equal of his hubris and sacrifices her life for their shared ideal. But love, like truth, is a shallow emotion in humans and all too often ends in waste, and in this case a wasted life. This story teaches charity, chivalry, and humility.
A profound and achingly told story studded with beautiful metaphors/
A wonderful story with a very beautiful meaning. The meaning divides the centuries and reminds us not to be careless with the Precious Gift.
Brilliant! Such a beautifully written account of the shallowness of the human heart. As we grieve and mourn that which we do not have, we most often fail to appreciate that which we do. The fantasy of the unattainable robs our focus and often cheats us out of the very thing at the core of our hearts' desires. Sadly, most of us carry on without even the knowing.
This classic allegory is a tribute to the beauty of selfless love and should be read and pondered by all.
Ahh the story of unrequited love. Someone willing to sacrifice themselves to see another happy, only to have done so in vain.
It is honestly hard to share my feelings on this. I love Oscar Wilde but this story is so sad. Yet does represent society sometimes. I try to keep a more positive outlook but can see how one can have a hard time and see life in this color of red.
