RE: ADSactly Literature - The Nightingale and the Rose by Oscar Wilde
One of the most emotional love stories written in modernity, @nancybriti. Grateful that you bring it to the present, when love is so conditioned and subject to everyday ills.
On the other hand, the nightingale figure is one of the wonderful contributions of the romantic poetic vision through the poet Keats. The rose is an eternal symbol; as Gertrude Stein said: "A rose is a rose is a rose...".
Thank you for your sensitive and thoughtful post.
Love is what people make of it. The negative view that we currently have is not of love, but of people. Thank you always for your lucid and thoughtful comments, @josemalavem.
