"The Ballad of Reading Gaol" di Oscar Wilde è una poesia che esplora temi di giustizia, sofferenza e redenzione attraverso la storia di un condannato a morte. La narrazione riflette le esperienze e le emozioni dei prigionieri, evidenziando l'ingiustizia del sistema penale. Wilde, imprigionato per la sua omosessualità, usa la sua Opera per criticare la società e la sua ipocrisia. La traduzione italiana conserva la profondità emotiva e il ritmo della poesia originale.

Reading Gaol (Gaol is pronounced the same as "jail.")
One of Oscar Wilde's famous poems is "The Ballad of Reading Gaol," written while he was in prison. This poem reflects on the harsh realities of life and the punishment of criminals through a story of a man executed for murder.
To Wilde, the convicts have an existence not worth living. They carry out their tasks and each day, "is like a year." They are already 'dead', and he refers to their cells as numbered tombs. Executing one of the convicts is simply killing the dead. This ballad, when compared to Wilde's great plays, shows how the trials and imprisonment truly impacted him and his views on life.
The quote "You shall die, but that is all you shall do for death" is from the poem "The Ballad of Reading Gaol," written by Oscar Wilde. This work reflects on the themes of mortality, punishment, and the human condition, stemming from Wilde's experiences and observations during his imprisonment. The poem is a poignant exploration of the nature of life and death.
A gaol bird or jailbird is someone who is in prison.
