Reading Jane Eyre
I love how my feelings, my sympathies comprehends this quote as if the words tied up my heart in a bow; taking out the name of Mr. ---, it is easy to find a replacement from when I came home last Christmas. This whole book is like a fascinating reveal, and a pleasure and a confusion. It is thusly brilliant in entirety, and I would like to curse the person who told me otherwise when I was 14 years old.
"But what is so headstrong as youth? What so blind as inexperience? These affirmed that it was pleasure enough to have the privilege of again looking on Mr. ----, whether he looked on me or not; and they added -- "Hasten! hasten! be with him while you may: but a few more days or weeks at most, and you are parted with him for ever!" And then I strangled a new-born agony -- a deformed thing which I could not persuade myself to own and rear -- and ran on."
Goodness; there are many more such quotes I need to remind myself of, and put down, but I have to keep reading -- I cannot stop!
