On this day, we celebrate the birth of Paul Verlaine (1844–1896), one of the most distinctive and influential voices in French poetry. A figure at once luminous and tragic, Verlaine’s work embodies the musicality of language, the melancholy of the soul, and the sensual ambiguity that defined the Decadent and Symbolist movements.

The Disciple, by Oscar Wilde 🌿🖋📖

Oscar Wilde’s prose poem The Disciple, from his 1894 collection Poems in Prose, is one of his most compact and philosophically piercing works. In a mere handful of lines, Wilde inverts the relationship between beauty and the beholder: when the nymphs mourn Narcissus by the pool, they reveal that they wept not for him, but for themselves — for the reflection of their own beauty they once glimpsed in his eyes. Wilde distills here the paradox of admiration: the admirer, too, is seeking a mirror.
This post presents the original English text alongside an Italian translation (Il Discepolo) and a Spanish translation (El Discípulo), offering readers a trilingual encounter with Wilde’s ironic lyricism. Whether you come to Wilde through his plays, his fairy tales, or his aphorisms, these prose poems reveal a writer at his most elliptical and most profound. Continue reading The Disciple, by Oscar Wilde 🌿🖋📖
