Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


I could not bear to return to the sordid village, where, besides,
no prospect of aid was visible. I should have longed rather to
deviate to a wood I saw not far off, which appeared in its thick
shade to offer inviting shelter; but I was so sick, so weak, so
gnawed with nature's cravings, instinct kept me roaming round abodes
where there was a chance of food. Solitude would be no solitude
-- rest no rest -- while the vulture, hunger, thus sank beak and
talons in my side.
