I am very happy, Jane; and when you hear that I am dead, you must be sure and not grieve: there is nothing to grieve about. We all must die one day, and the illness which is removing me is not painful; it is gentle and gradual: my mind is at rest. I leave no one to regret me much: I have only a father; and he is lately married, and will not miss me. By dying young, I shall escape great sufferings. I had not qualities or talents to make my way very well in the world: I should have been continually at fault. ✨ Charlotte Bronte, Leo Tolstoy (2012). Stop What You’re Doing and Read…To Your Partner: Jane Eyre & Anna Karenina, p.50, Random House
