Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


I took a seat: St. John stood near me. He looked up the pass
and down the hollow; his glance wandered away with the stream, and
returned to traverse the unclouded heaven which coloured it: he
removed his hat, let the breeze stir his hair and kiss his brow.
He seemed in communion with the genius of the haunt: with his eye
he bade farewell to something.


"And I shall see it again," he said aloud, "in dreams when I sleep
by the Ganges: and again in a more remote hour -- when another
slumber overcomes me -- on the shore of a darker stream!"
