Från Söders svindlande höjder till Emily Brontës lika svindlande klassiker. Här är tre kärleksfulla citat att förgylla karantänen med. AV N AT H A L I E WÄ N B L A D FOTO JOHN MARK SMITH/ UNSPL ASH

1 ”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!”

2 ”I have not broken your heart—you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine. So much the worse for me that I am strong. Do I want to live? What kind of living will it be when you—Oh, God! Would you like to lie with your soul in the grave?”

3 ”It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him: and that, not because he’s handsome, Nelly, but because he’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
