Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more; it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

—Shakespeare

My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods; time will change it, I’m well aware, as winter changes the trees–My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath:–a source of little visible delight, but necessary.

No coward soul is mine,

No trembler in the world’s storm-troubled sphere:

I see Heaven’s glories shine,

And faith shines equal, arming me from fear.
