The Little Mermaid throws herself from the ship into the sea, and her body dissolves into foam. That should have been the end But instead we get a bizarre bit about "daughters of the air" and an obvious plea to children to be good. That tarnishes what would have otherwise been a perfect tale. But, even tarnished, this is still the great writer's best. Every town, like every man, has its own countenance; they have a common likeness and yet are different; one keeps in his mind all their peculiar touches.

U naslanjajućem iskazu - vratimo se pismu Ingemanu - Andersen ne samo da eksplicira vlastitu intencioznost, nego ujedno pruža ekstrakt onoga čime bi se mogao obuhvatiti Klasik književnosti (za decu): istovremena prijemčivost i izazovnost narativa svestima na različitim razinama. I plitka i duboka voda istodobno, ovisno o verziranosti i dohvatima plivača! Neporecivo je, razume se, da Andersen jeste u jatu onih koji "uranjaju" dva plivača jednim udarcem. Zato bi se najrađe i dalo zbrisati ono u zagradi dopisano pored Klasika, jer je sobom protivrečno! Andersen is probably best known today for “The Little Mermaid,” usually in the sense that children who have seen the Disney film often hear, from their friends, something to the effect of, “Did you know that she actually dies in the end.” Andersen stories, more than any other traditional fairy tales, are filled with pathos and sadness, and end badly for their protagonists. Hans Christian Andersen's tales seem to have universal appeal, no matter what language they are read in. His stories express themes that transcend age and nationality—often presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity. They are written in a very chatty intimate style, which won him no favours from his original literary critics, who considered this tone inappropriate. But once he found his voice, he found he could not stop writing them, saying, "They forced themselves from me". A friend once expostulated, "You're capable of writing about anything - even a darning needle!" And sure enough, the author rose to the challenge, in his story entitled "The Darning Needle". The stories are clearly cathartic, but also full of beauty, tragedy, nature, religion, artfulness, deception, betrayal, love, death, judgement and penance. And—very occasionally—one has a happy ending. widdie was and will always be the light of whitneys life and whitney will always remember her as the best horse that ever walked this earth. which is true. this mare is so special.

Ephesians 2:10 ” For we are Gods handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Beautiful, uncorrupted nature versus the corrupt hustle and bustle of the city. Andersen as environmentalist, perhaps?
