“I have lost the faculty of enjoying their destruction, and I am too idle to destroy for nothing.”
Emily Brontë

Cumbres Borrascosas
Heathcliff (Ch. XXXIII).
Fuente: Wuthering Heights (1847)
Contexto: I get levers and mattocks to demolish the two houses, and train myself to be capable of working like Hercules, and when every thing is ready and in my power, I find the will to lift a slate off either roof has vanished! My old enemies have not beaten me — now would be the precise time to revenge myself on their representatives. I could do it, and none could hinder me; but where is the use? I don't care for striking — I can't take the trouble to raise my hand! That sounds as if I had been labouring the whole time only to exhibit a fine trait of magnanimity. It is far from being the case. I have lost the faculty of enjoying their destruction, and I am too idle to destroy for nothing.
“The entire world is a collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her.”

“No coward soul is mine,
No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere…”
No Coward Soul Is Mine (1846)
Contexto: No coward soul is mine,
No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere:
I see Heaven's glories shine,
And Faith shines equal, arming me from Fear.
Contexto: p>No coward soul is mine,
No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere:
I see Heaven's glories shine,
And Faith shines equal, arming me from Fear.O God within my breast,
Almighty, ever-present Deity!
Life — that in me has rest,
As I — undying Life — have power in Thee!Vain are the thousand creeds
That move men's hearts: unutterably vain;
Worthless as withered weeds,
Or idlest froth amid the boundless main...</p
“And from the midst of cheerless gloom
I passed to bright unclouded day.”
Stanza vi.
A Little While, a Little While (1846)
Contexto: Still, as I mused, the naked room,
The alien firelight died away;
And from the midst of cheerless gloom
I passed to bright, unclouded day.
“It’s no company at all, when people know nothing and say nothing,’ she muttered.”

Contexto: I have no pity! I have no pity! The more the worms writhe, the more I yearn to crush out their entrails! It is a moral teething; and I grind with greater energy in proportion to the increase of pain.

Mr. Lockwood (Ch. III).
Fuente: Wuthering Heights (1847)
Contexto: As it spoke I discerned, obscurely, a child's face looking through the window. Terror made me cruel; and finding it useless to attempt shaking the creature off, I pulled its wrist on to the broken pane, and rubbed it to and fro till the blood ran down and soaked the bed-clothes: still it wailed, "Let me in!", and maintained its tenacious grip, almost maddening me with fear.
