"I have now been married ten years. I know what it is to live entirely for and with what I love best on earth. I hold myself supremely blest—blest beyond what language can express; because I am my husband’s life as fully as he is mine. No woman was ever nearer to her mate than I am: ever more absolutely bone of his bone, and flesh of his flesh. I know no weariness of my Edward’s society: he knows none of mine, any more than we each do of the pulsation of the heart that beats in our separate bosoms; consequently, we are ever together. To be together is for us to be at once as free as in solitude, as gay as in company. We talk, I believe, all day long: to talk to each other is but a more animated and an audible thinking. All my confidence is bestowed on him, all his confidence is devoted to me; we are precisely suited in character—perfect concord is the result."
-Jane Eyre
I have a slight fettish with words-all sorts of words. I love they way they make me feel, and the way they help me say what I feel. I love long words, short words, pretty words, and I especially love nice words.
Thank you Charlotte Brontë for creating Jane and Mr. Rochester- I love them too.
I LOVE this book. And I have been looking for your blog forever and I am so glad that I found it! I tried every combination of Ali & Scott Lalor possible (except for the right one that is). -Kim
