you pierced my soul

bugün öğrendim ki;

- bir evlilik teklifi yapmanın en güzel yolu "I offer myself to you" minvalinden bir cümleymiş.
- bir evlilik teklifini kabul etmenin en güzel yolu "teşekkür ederim" demekmiş.
- yıllar önce kırılmış bir kalp bugün, eskisinden de fazla o'na ait olabilirmiş.
- bir adam bir kadına öyle bakarsa, ruhunu görebilirmiş.
- bir kadın bir adama öyle koşarsa, yetişebilirmiş.

ve öğrendim ki;

When the attachment to his beloved one is indeed profound, a man cannot recover from such a passion... with such a woman. He ought not. He does not.

Miss Elliot,

I can bear this no longer. You pierced my soul. I'm half agony, half hope. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it eight years ago. I have loved none but you. You alone, who brought me to Bath, for you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this?

I can hardly write. I must go, uncertain of my fate. A word, a look, would be enough. Only tell me that I am... Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever.

Frederick Wentworth

Captain,

I am... I am in receipt of your proposal and am minded to accept it. T-thank you.

Anne Elliot
