My love, you are driving the entire world mad. The nightingales are committing suicide one by one out of jealousy of your voice. The roses took one glance at your beauty and folded themselves from shame. The trees now only whisper your name and the sky hasn’t stopped crying since you looked up. Have pity on us, my love. We have already broken all the mirrors and glass out of fear that you will forget us and fall in love with yourself once you see what we all cannot stop seeing. Kamand Kojouri
About This Quote

In this quote, Oscar Wilde is discussing how love can affect other people and their reactions to it. As the quote suggests, the nightingales’ suicide represents the jealousy of other people. Their suicide may be largely attributable to real jealousy or it could be an exaggeration. If the nightingales actually were in love with each other, their suicide would serve no purpose.

The roses folded themselves from shame. They are unwilling to be seen with the nightingales because they are jealous of their beauty. The trees now only whisper your name.

The trees are expressing their fear of losing you to yourself. And the sky hasn’t stopped crying since you looked up. The sky is mourning because you have lost interest in everything around you.

This quote captures how love can have drastic effects on other people’s lives, often leading them to risk their own happiness or livelihoods for the sake of another person.
