The Star-Child

So the Star-Child was brought up with the children of the Woodcutter. He sat at the same board with them, and was their playmate. And every year he became more beautiful to look at. All the villagers were filled with wonder, while the Woodcutter children were dark and black-haired, he was white and delicate as ivory. His curls were like the rings of the daffodil, his lips were red like a red flower. His eyes were like violets by a river of pure water. And his body was like the narcissus of the field.

Yet, his beauty did work evil, because he grew proud, cruel and selfish. He despised the children of the Woodcutter and the other children of the village. He said that they were common, while he was of noble birth, being sprung from the Star. He made himself master of them, and called them his servants. No pity had he for the poor. He would throw stones at them and drive them away, and say to them to beg their bread elsewhere. Himself he loved, and in summer, when the winds were still, he would lie by the well in the priest’s orchard and look down at the marvel of his own face, and laugh for the pleasure, he had in his fairness.

Often the Woodcutter and his wife requested him not to be so cruel. Often the old priest taught him the love of living things. But the Star-Child needed not their words, but would frown and go back to his companions and lead them. His companions followed him because he was fair, could run fast and dance, play the pipe and make music. They did whatever the Star-Child ordered them. And they became hard of heart, even as he was. (The Star-Child by Oscar Wilde)
