Emily Brontë'nin Wuthering Heights (Uğultulu Tepeler) adlı eserinden:

'May she wake in torment!' he cried, with frightful vehemence, stamping his foot, and groaning in a suddenparoxysm of ungovernable passion. 'Why, she's a liar to the end! Where is she? Not there - not in heaven -not perished - where? Oh! you said you cared nothing for my sufferings! And I pray one prayer - I repeat it tillmy tongue stiffens - Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living; you said I killed you - hauntme, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered on earth.Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot findyou! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!'

I want to ask you two questions: the first is, - How did youcontrive to preserve the common sympathies of human nature when you resided here? I cannot recognise anysentiment which those around share with me.The second question I have great interest in; it is this - Is Mr. Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And if not, ishe a devil? I sha'n't tell my reasons for making this inquiry; but I beseech you to explain, if you can, what Ihave married: that is, when you call to see me; and you must call, Ellen, very soon.
