[O]ur honeymoon will shine our life long: its beams will only fade over your grave or mine.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
You have rather the look of another world. I marvelled where you had got that sort of face.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
My future husband was becoming to me my whole world and more than the world: almost my hope of heaven. He stood between me and every thought of religion, as an eclipse intervenes between man and the broad sun. I could not, in those days, see God for His creature: of whom I had made an idol.
