Sometimes, words hit you...

Wuthering heights is a crazy intense, utterly depressing story of humans at their worst, displaying their basest of emotions. It's raw. I love it. I love Heathcliff, he's my favorite. And he's my most favoritest when played by the one and only Tom Hardy in masterpiece theater's version of the epic drama.
I was watching the second half of the telling with some of my friends when Heathcliff begs his recently departed Love, Catherine, not to leave him, ever. And the words just smacked me, like an open palm. I was like, 'whoa, that's intense.' but it intrigued me...and made my eyes teary.

Likewise, earlier in the book, when Cathy was still alive, she said something of Heathcliff that still makes my word-loving-soul sigh.

And so, I share with you.

"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!" -Heathcliff
*life, and soul, refer to his recently departed Cathy.

"If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: I should not seem a part of it." -Catherine


Sometimes my brain fantasizes that this is what love is like sometimes...and, maybe it is ;)
