Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë |

Yea, lack of love is bitterest of all;
Yet I have felt what thing it is to know
One thought forever, sleeping or awake;
To say one name whose sweetness grows so strange

To feel the weight of love upon my heart
So heavy that the blood can
scarcely
flow.

Seem like a

to me.
