| Current Search - existence in Jane Eyre |
1 It was a grovelling fashion of existence: I should never like to return to it.
2 But I feel mine is not the existence to be long protracted under an Indian sun.
3 As to the new existence, it is all right: you shall yet be my wife: I am not married.
4 I doubted I had taken a step which sank instead of raising me in the scale of social existence.
5 I was wrong to attempt to deceive you; but I feared a stubbornness that exists in your character.
6 You think all existence lapses in as quiet a flow as that in which your youth has hitherto slid away.
7 I must part with you for my whole life: I must begin a new existence among strange faces and strange scenes.
8 I wished to see Jane Eyre, and I fancy a likeness where none exists: besides, in eight years she must be so changed.
9 I had nothing to say to these words: they were not new to me: my very first recollections of existence included hints of the same kind.
10 Hitherto I have recorded in detail the events of my insignificant existence: to the first ten years of my life I have given almost as many chapters.
11 But as it is, either our union must be consecrated and sealed by marriage, or it cannot exist: practical obstacles oppose themselves to any other plan.
12 I know poetry is not dead, nor genius lost; nor has Mammon gained power over either, to bind or slay: they will both assert their existence, their presence, their liberty and strength again one day.
13 My help had been needed and claimed; I had given it: I was pleased to have done something; trivial, transitory though the deed was, it was yet an active thing, and I was weary of an existence all passive.
14 God wot I need not be too severe about others; I have a past existence, a series of deeds, a colour of life to contemplate within my own breast, which might well call my sneers and censures from my neighbours to myself.
15 I think you good, gifted, lovely: a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart; it leans to you, draws you to my centre and spring of life, wraps my existence about you, and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one.
16 So happy, so gratified did I become with this new interest added to life, that I ceased to pine after kindred: my thin crescent-destiny seemed to enlarge; the blanks of existence were filled up; my bodily health improved; I gathered flesh and strength.
17 I must not forget that these coarsely-clad little peasants are of flesh and blood as good as the scions of gentlest genealogy; and that the germs of native excellence, refinement, intelligence, kind feeling, are as likely to exist in their hearts as in those of the best-born.
