Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"It is time some one undertook to rehumanise you," said I, parting
his thick and long uncut locks; "for I see you are being metamorphosed
into a lion, or something of that sort. You have a 'faux air' of
Nebuchadnezzar in the fields about you, that is certain: your hair
reminds me of eagles' feathers; whether your nails are grown like
birds' claws or not, I have not yet noticed."


"On this arm, I have neither hand nor nails," he said, drawing
the mutilated limb from his breast, and showing it to me. "It is
a mere stump -- a ghastly sight! Don't you think so, Jane?"
