Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


A mile off, beyond the fields, lay a road which stretched in the
contrary direction to Millcote; a road I had never travelled, but
often noticed, and wondered where it led: thither I bent my steps.
No reflection was to be allowed now: not one glance was to be
cast back; not even one forward. Not one thought was to be given
either to the past or the future. The first was a page so heavenly
sweet -- so deadly sad -- that to read one line of it would dissolve
my courage and break down my energy. The last was an awful blank:
something like the world when the deluge was gone by.
