And - did she ever mention me?' he asked, hesitating, as if he dreaded the answer to his question would introduce details that he could not bear to hear.

'Her senses never returned: she recognised nobody from the time you left her,' I said. 'She lies with a sweet smile on her face; and her latest ideas wandered back to pleasant early days. Her life closed in a gentle dream - may she wake as kindly in the other world!'

'”May she wake in torment!' he cried, with frightful vehemence, stamping his foot, and groaning in a sudden paroxysm 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 till my tongue stiffens -

Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living; 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!'”
