Oscar Wilde - The Nightingale And The Rose [Audio and Text]
95
 
 

Oscar Wilde - The Nightingale And The Rose [Audio and Text]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 tells her that it can produce a red rose, but only if the nightingale is prepared to 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.
