Charlotte Bronte
It would not be wicked to love me. It would to obey you.
Charlotte Bronte
As to the thoughts, they are elfish. Those eyes in the Evening Star you must have seen in a dream.
Charlotte Bronte
While I loved, and while I was loved, what an existence I enjoyed!

What the deuce is to do now?
