Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


Du Heilige, rufe dein Kind zurueck,
Ich habe genossen das irdische Glueck,
Ich habe gelebt und geliebet!


"Lived and loved!" said she, "is that the summit of earthly happiness,
the end of life--to love? I don't think it is. It may be the extreme
of mortal misery, it may be sheer waste of time, and fruitless torture
of feeling. If Schiller had said to _be_ loved, he might have
come nearer the truth. Is not that another thing, Lucy, to be loved?"
