Jane Eyre

I love the dialogues of those old b&w monvies, people don't talk this way any more...and people don't love this deep any more...

Edward:

Sometimes I have a queer feeling with regard to you, Jane. Especially when you are near me, as now. It is as if I had a string, somewhere under my left ribs tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. And if we should have be parted, that cord of communion will be snapped. I have a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, you will forget me.

... ... ... ...

Jane:

Do you think I can stay here to become nothing to you? Do you think because I am poor and obscure and plain that I am soulless and heartless? I have much soul as you and fully as much heart. And if God had gifted me with wealth and beauty, I should make it as hard for you to leave me as it is now for me to leave you.

... ... ... ...

Edward:

My fixed desire was to find a woman I could love, contrast to the fury that lives here. What did I find? A Frendh dancing girl, a neapolitan countess with a taste of jewelry. Back to England, I rode in the inside of Thornfield. Someone was walking in the moonlight. A strange, little elfin like creature. It frightened my horse, then came up to me, bravely offered me help. I was to be aided by that hand. And aided I was. And then later that evening, do you remember, Jane? Say you remember. You came into that room. How shy you were. Yet readily and proudly you answered my questions. And you smiled at me. At that moment, I knew I would love you.
