#EveningSolitude

"In the shadowed embrace of the ancient #trees, I sought solace from the world, where whispers of the forgotten lingered, and the silence wrapped around me like a shroud, inviting me to lose myself in the depths of solitude."

“Don't be a Puritan, Mary. You'll be soaked to the skin on the Bodmin road. Pretend you're in love with me, can't you? You'd stay with me then.”

“Countless as the sands of sea are human passions, and not all of them are alike, and all of them, base and noble alike, are at first obedient to man and only later on become his terrible masters.”

I longed to seek the retirement of my own room, or some sequestered nook in the grounds, that I might deliver myself up to my feelings—to weep my last farewell, and lament
my false hopes and vain delusions.

Anne Brontë, #AgnesGrey

Tu te plais à me voir, sombre et désespéré, / Errer dans mon amour comme en un cimetière!

You like to see me, dark and desperate, / Wandering in my love as in a cemetery! 👻🪦

#GothicWanderer

"I learned to recognize the thorough and primitive duality of man. I saw that, of the two natures that contended in the field of my consciousness, even in the midst of my own toil, I was still a slave to the darker side."
