Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


I know not whether the day was fair or foul; in descending the drive,
I gazed neither on sky nor earth: my heart was with my eyes; and
both seemed migrated into Mr. Rochester's frame. I wanted to see
the invisible thing on which, as we went along, he appeared to
fasten a glance fierce and fell. I wanted to feel the thoughts
whose force he seemed breasting and resisting.


At the churchyard wicket he stopped: he discovered I was quite out
of breath. "Am I cruel in my love?" he said. "Delay an instant:
lean on me, Jane."
