"I offer
myself to you again with a heart even more your own,
than when you almost broke it eght years and a half ago.
Dare not say
that man forgets sooner than woman,
that his love
has an earlier death.
I have loved
no one but you. Unjust I may have been,
weak and resentful
I have been, but never inconstant.
You alone have
brought me to Bath.
For you alone
I think and plan.--Have you not seen this?
Can you fail
to have understood my wishes?--I have not waited even
these ten days,
could I have read your feelings,
as I think
you must have penetrated mine.
I can hardly
write. I am every instant hearing
something which
overpowers me. You sink your voice,
but I can distinguish
the tones of that voice,
when they would
be lost on others.--Too good, too excellent creature!
You do us justice
indeed.
You do believe
that there is true attachment and constancy among men.
Believe it
to be most fervent, most undeviating in,
F.W.(Frederick
Wentworth)
I must go uncertain
of my fate; but I shall return hither,
or follow your
party, as soon as possible.
A word, a
look will be enough to decide
whether I enter
your father's house this evening, or never."

Persuasion was one of Jane Austen's last works.
It
was published posthumously in 1818. One
of my
favorite novel, the excerpt above is Frederick
Wentworth's
beautful letter to Anne Elliot.:-)
If this is your first time to read it, take your time.:-)
It will surely melt your heart. :-)
The pictures above are from the film adaptation
of
the said novel. It stars Ciaran Hinds and Amanda Root, together
they made a wonderful Anne and Frederick pair.:-)
And I am so thankful to my dear friend, Pamela
Grimes
for sharing me this film and much more, a wonderful,
generous spirit,indeed. We shall get lost
in all these...
Thank you.:-)
Thanks to Therese, too.missing you, much.
I know you love this too.:-)
And to my friends, enjoy!
