The Fisherman and the Soul

Every evening the young Fisherman went to the sea and threw his nets into the water. When the wind blew from the land he caught nothing. But when the wind blew to the shore, the fish came in from the deep, and swam into his nets, and he took them to the marketplace and sold them.

Every evening he went out upon the sea, and one evening the net was so heavy that he could hardly draw it into the boat. And he laughed, and said to himself, «Surely I have caught all the fish that swim, or some dull monster that will be a surprise to men, or some thing of horror that the great Queen will desire,» and with all his strength he pulled the coarse ropes till the net rose to the top of the water. But no fish at all was in it, nor any monster or thing of horror, but only a little Mermaid lying fast asleep.

Her wet hair was like gold. Her body was as white as ivory and her tail was of silver and pearl. Like seashells were her ears, and her lips were like sea-coral.

So beautiful was she, that when the young Fisherman saw her, he was filled with wonder. He put out his hand and drew net close to him, and leaning over it, he held her in his arms. And when he touched her she gave a cry like a seagull, and woke, and looked at him in terror, and struggled that she might escape. But held her tightly to him and would not let her go. And when she saw that she could in no way escape from him, she began to weep and prayed him let her go to her old father. (by Oscar Wilde)
