I seem to have gathered up a stray lamb in my arms: you wandered out of the fold to seek your shepherd, did you, Jane?
CHARLOTTE BRONTE

You have rather the look of another world. I marvelled where you had got that sort of face.
CHARLOTTE BRONTE

Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.
CHARLOTTE BRONTE

Alive Birth Cry Weak
You transfix me quite.
CHARLOTTE BRONTE
