17 With wide-embracing love
18 Thy Spirit animates eternal years, 19 Pervades and broods above, 20 Changes, sustains, dissolves, creates, and rears.
21 Though earth and moon were gone, 22 And suns and universes ceased to be, 23 And Thou wert left alone, 24 Every existence would exist in Thee.
25 There is not room for Death, 26 Nor atom that his might could render void:
27 Thou -Thou art Being and Breath, 28 And what Thou art may never be destroyed.
The Prisoner (Emily Bronte)

03 "Draw the ponderous bars! open, Warder stern!"

14 As sculptured marble saint, or slumbering unwean'd child;
15 It was so soft and mild, it was so sweet and fair, 16 Pain could not trace a line, nor grief a shadow there!
17 The captive raised her hand and pressed it to her brow;
18 "I have been struck," she said, "and I am suffering now;
19 Yet these are little worth, your bolts and irons strong;
20 And, were they forged in steel, they could not hold me long."
21 Hoarse laughed the jailor grim: "Shall I be won to hear;
22 Dost think, fond, dreaming wretch, that I shall grant thy prayer?
23 Or, better still, wilt melt my master's heart with groans?
24 Ah! sooner might the sun thaw down these granite stones.
25 "My master's voice is low, his aspect bland and kind, 26 But hard as hardest flint the soul that...
Jane describes Rochester as " a dark face, with stern features, and a heavy brow; his eyes and gathered eyebrows looked ireful and thwarted" (pg. 99).
