"Sometimes I have the strangest feeling about you. Especially when you are near me as you are now. It feels as though I have a string tied here under my left rib where my heart is, tightly knotted to you in a similar fashion. And when you go, with all that distance between us, I am afraid that this cord will be snapped, and I shall bleed inwardly."

- Charlotte Brontë by Jane Eyre
