Persuasion by Jane Austen
"I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none 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 had 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, inContributed by Nessie from The Biblio Files

Hey, I like movie of Age of Innocence. Actually better than the book. Didn't know that about the Pulitzer Prize.
(I'm sounding less like a dope the more I do this...)
I'll have to really think about March (though isn't that more of an October subject?). Not much scares me... (mostly becasue I don't read scary books.)
Melissa,
You sound great always!
I know scary books should be for October, but with the past three themes, I thought I was getting a bit too predictable. I worry too much.
hi melissa,
i knew i could count on you for a comment too. and I was right about the movie, it is scorsese.
is the movie better than the book? not sure. i think it is such a faithful (and rare) recreation of the book that its tough for me to decide. I did see the movie first too. having joanne woodward as the narrator (and so isnt she really playing edith wharton) probably helps a lot.
