"... you said I killed you—haunt me, 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 find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!" ~Healthcliff

"My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods: time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary. " ~Cathy

Today while reading Wuthering Heights, for the 948th time, I decided that Alicia Keys' Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart reflects the emotional portrayal of Cathy & Heathcliff. I'm serious : )

I'll admit that "emotional portrayal" may not be the best phrased description of the parallel themes. Once I have a well articulated description, I'll be sure to add it.

I think I now love both just a little bit more.
