No commentaries. Just this beautiful passage to behold.

Day 12 of love

Jane Eyre was one of the first classics that I ever seriously read. For my young mind, I found the language a little hard to follow. Years later, when I came across another Brontë novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, I assumed the language was similar, naïvely unaware that years of reading classics can make you accustomed to its seemingly mind-boggling prose.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall turned out to be quite readable and that was not only because I already got the hang of classics at the time of reading. Surprisingly modern, I loved how the heroine rose above her ordeals and became her own person. It was a good read truly.

I used to believe that only once in a person’s life can he experience the sensation described above. But now, I’m not so sure anymore. Anybody here ever met someone who made you feel this way? I would love to hear your story!

Growing up, I was never really fond of poetry. I have always believed that appreciating poetry takes a different level of understanding. Although I once read some of Rilke’s poems, I found that I still couldn’t muster enough patience to dig deep. So I resorted to his Letters to a Young Poet instead and found that his narratives are just as insightful as his poems.
