《夜莺与玫瑰》 / The Nightingale and the Rose

[[TheNightingaleAndTheRose|《夜莺与玫瑰》 / The Nightingale and the Rose]] appears in 10.王尔德奇异故事集：用最会撒谎的嘴唇亲吻天使 as a well-known [[OscarWilde|Wilde]] fairy tale whose beauty is inseparable from pain and sacrifice. The episode pairs it with [[TheHappyPrince|《快乐王子》]] and [[TheLittleMermaid|《海的女儿》]] to describe a childhood-reading memory of sad, gorgeous fairy tales.

The source does not make this story its main close-reading object. Its function is to mark the expectation that Wilde equals elegant sadness, so that [[WildeStrangeStories|《王尔德奇异故事集》]] can then complicate that image through black comedy, ghost-story tenderness, and fictional evidence games.
