📓 A POETRY JUNKIE WITH A FIERCE BOOK ADDICTION📚📖

WHAT IS MY FAVORITE PIECE OF CLASSIC LITERATURE?

My favorite piece of classic literature is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

My favorite line is on page 204 it reads,
"Sir," I answered, "a wanderer's repose or a sinner's reformation should never depend on a fellow- creature. Men and women die; philosophers falter in wisdom, Christians in goodness: if anyone you know has suffered and erred, let him look higher than his equals for strength to amend and solace to heal." (Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte; 1847)

📚Charlotte Bronte and Emily Bronte's were both sisters and the most accomplished female literary authors of their time. Emily Bronte wrote Wuthering Heights. Charlotte​ Bronte's Jane Eyre was published on October 16th, 1847.

This book was a mid-Victorian romance of the most unlikely of lovers. Every page I turned greeted me wholeheartedly​​, with passion and imagination. This book was transformative in the way I viewed love, romance, and classic literature. 📖

WHAT SONG DO I PLAY ON REPEAT THIS WEEK?

I have been a bit of a melancholy muse this week. This is the song I play on repeat. I ​do love Ray LaMontagne
This song is called, "Empty." I just love the melody, and my favorite line is
🎼🎵🎶 Well I looked my demons in the eyes
Lay bare my chest
Said do you best
to destroy me
See I've been to hell and back
so many times
I must admit
you kinda bore me 🎼🎵🎶
