Fabelaktig og innviklet. Jeg er nesten sjokkert over at en bok publisert i 1847 ikke kjedet meg, ikke ett sekund. Må innrømme at jeg dog gikk over til norsk oversatt versjon etterhvert, fordi alle de ukjente engelske ordene som pryder annenhver side, førte til litt vel stakkato lesning for min smak. Men helt nydelig språk, får håpe ikke altfor mye er tapt i oversettelsen.
My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods: time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.
I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!
´Yet I was a fool to fancy for a moment that she valued Edgar Linton's attachment more than mine - If he loved with all the powers of his puny being, he couldn't love as much in eighty years, as I could in a day. And Cathrine has a heart as deep as I have; the sea could be as readily contained in that horse-trough, as her whole affection could be monopolized by him - Tush! He is scarcely a degree dearer to her than her dog, or her horse - it is not in him to be loved like me, how can she love in him what he has not?´
"And I pray one prayer—I repeat it till my tongue stiffens—Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed you—haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe - I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!"
Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!
If he loved you with all the power of his soul for a whole lifetime, he couldn’t love you as much as I do in a single day.
"Why canst thou not always be a good lass, Cathy?"
And she turned her face up to his, and laughed, and answered -
"Why cannot you always be a good man, father?"
I disturbed nobody, Nelly, " he replied; "and I gave som ease to myself. I shall be a great deal more comfortable now; and you'll have a better chance of keeping me underground, when I get there. Disturbed her? No! she has disturbed me, night and day, through eighteen years-
I see a repose that neither earth nor hell can break; and I feel an assurance of the endless and shadowless hereafter - the Eternity they have entered - where life is boundless in its duration, and love in its sympathy, and joy in its fulness.
He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
Jeg var en stor fan av tv-serien Gilmore girls. Derfor bestemte jeg meg for at jeg ville lage en liste over hvilke bøker de nevner i serien. Det er en lang liste, som jeg fant på en nettside som ikke finnes lengre.
Jeg har ikke tatt med bøkene bak de filmene som også nevnes.
Si gjerne ifra, hvis du vet om bøker jeg ikke har i lista.
Rangering fra 1 til 100. 138 anonyme medlemmer stemte på bøkene. Samlet 3. april 2014.
I sommer skal jeg gi meg hen til den engelske litteraturen, primært fra 1800-tallet og begynnelsen av 1900-tallet. Gleder meg!
