Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"Perhaps you would rather not sit any longer on my knee, Miss Eyre?"
was the next somewhat unexpected observation.


"Why not, Mr. Rochester?"


"The picture you have just drawn is suggestive of a rather too
overwhelming contrast. Your words have delineated very prettily
a graceful Apollo: he is present to your imagination, -- tall,
fair, blue-eyed, and with a Grecian profile. Your eyes dwell on a
Vulcan, -- a real blacksmith, brown, broad-shouldered: and blind
and lame into the bargain."
