Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"My doubt is whether I should have strength for the undertaking," I
observed.


"That is my own scruple," said she; "for you look a worn-out
creature."


So I did. I saw myself in the glass, in my mourning-dress, a faded,
hollow-eyed vision. Yet I thought little of the wan spectacle. The
blight, I believed, was chiefly external: I still felt life at life's
sources.
