"I cannot live without books" part II



EMILY BRÖNTE, "Wuthering Heights"

p.146 : 

"Catherine, what have you done ? 

Am I nothing to you, any more ? 

Do you love that wretch, Heathcliff ?"

 (...)

I don't want you, Edgar;

I'm past wanting you..

.Return to your books...

I'm glad you possess a consolation,

 for all you had in me is gone". 

p.343 :

"No books, 

I exclaimed.

 How do you contrive to live here without them ?

 If I may take the liberty to enquire 

- Though provided with a large library,,

I'm frequently very dull at the Grange

 - take my books away, 

and I should be desperate".
