Le Discipulo
[Conto. Texto complete]

Oscar Wilde



Quando Narcisso moriva le stagno de su placer cambiava de un tassa de aguas dulce in un tassa de lacrimas salate, e le   flores (Oreads) veni plorante a traverso del bosco que illes poterea cantar al stagno e donar le conforto.



E quando illes videva que le stagno habeva cambiate de un tassa de aquas dulce a un tassa de lacrimas salate, illes laxava le tressas verde de sue capillo e critava al stagno e diceva “Nos nos questiona que vos deberea affliger se per Narcisso quam belle ille esseva”







¿Sed Narcisso esseva belle? Diceva le stagno



-“¿E qui poterea saper lo melior que vos? –Diceva le flores (Oreads.). Omne le dies se inclinava supre le ripa e te videva e in le speculo de tue aquas ille contemplava su beltate.”

-E le stagno respondeva, “Si io amava Narcisso perque, quando ille se inclinava supra mi ripa e me videva, in le speculo de sue oculos io videva semper mi proprie beltate reflectite”

FIN



The Disciple





When Narcissus died the pool of his pleasure changed from a cup of sweet waters into a cup of salt tears, and the Oreads came weeping through the woodland that they might sing to the pool and give it comfort.





And when they saw that the pool had changed from a cup of sweet waters into a cup of salt tears, they loosened the green tresses of their hair and cried to the pool and said, `We do not wonder that you should mourn in this manner for Narcissus, so beautiful was he.'







`But was Narcissus beautiful?' said the pool.





`Who should know that better than you?' answered the Oreads. `Us did he ever pass by, but you he sought for, and would lie on your banks and look down at you, and in the mirror of your waters he would mirror his own beauty.'

And the pool answered, `But I loved Narcissus because, as he lay on my banks and looked down at me, in the mirror of his eyes I saw ever my own beauty mirrored.'
