The Fisherman and his Soul
Oscar Wilde
A prose version taken from another book.
We've heard of musicians who sold their souls to the devil for their talent. The fisherman in this tale won't to lose his so he can make love to a mermaid. When his soul rejoins him it is a thing of evil that leads him astray. When he comes home at last we get a Romeo and Juliet ending.
