That will do to explain my secret, as well as the other. I&#8217;ve no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven; and if the wicked man in there had not brought Heathcliff so low, I shouldn&#8217;t have thought of it. It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him: and that, not because he&#8217;s handsome, Nelly, but because he&#8217;s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same; and Linton&#8217;s is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire.&#8217;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_X4u7DRdJ1w4\/SurgMCQxvII\/AAAAAAAAAds\/82tsZGR6ba8\/s1600-h\/EichenbergWutheringHeights.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_X4u7DRdJ1w4\/SurgMCQxvII\/AAAAAAAAAds\/82tsZGR6ba8\/s400\/EichenbergWutheringHeights.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398373600727252098\" style=\"cursor: pointer; width: 275px; height: 400px; \" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Keep an eye on the blog tomorrow for a special Halloween treat&#8211;the back cover copy for TWICE BITTEN! <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I kept waking up last night, and each time I did I had lyrics from Michael Penn&#8217;s No Myth (Romeo in Black Jeans) in my head.
