Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"I read the letter. Lucy, life is said to be all disappointment.
_I_ was not disappointed. Ere I read, and while I read, my heart
did more than throb--it trembled fast--every quiver seemed like the
pant of an animal athirst, laid down at a well and drinking; and the
well proved quite full, gloriously clear; it rose up munificently of
its own impulse; I saw the sun through its gush, and not a mote, Lucy,
no moss, no insect, no atom in the thrice-refined golden gurgle.
