The Fisherman and his Soul
By Oscar Wilde
EVERY evening the young Fisherman went out upon the sea, and threw his nets into the
water.
When the wind blew from the land he caught nothing, or but little at best, for it was a
bitter and black-winged wind, and rough waves rose up to meet it. But when the wind blew to
