Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
A.
"Do
you think because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and
heartless? You think wrong!—I have as much soul as you, and full as much heart!
And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made
it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not
talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of
mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had
passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal—as we are!”
B. Sometimes
I have the strangest feeling about you. Especially when you are near me as you
are now. It feels as though I had a string
tied here under my left rib where my
heart is, tightly knotted to you in a similar fashion. And when you go to
Ireland, with all that distance between us, I am afraid that this cord will be
snapped, and I shall bleed inwardly.”
*c.f.
bible: Old Testament book Genesis 2:21-23 And Jehovah God caused a deep
sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs and
closed up the flesh in its place. And Jehovah God built the rib, which He had
taken from the man, into a woman and brought her to the man.
