Persuasion

Oh, Persuasion. Is this a glimpse in to Jane's heart or some "auntly" advice?

"She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older: the natural sequence of an unnatural beginning."

Here is the bulk head in Lyme. Shouldn't it be overcast?


Captain Harville's home from the movie.


The infamous stairs! Did you know those are floating steps, not a staircase? I never noticed that in the movie. This is where Louisa decides to jump despite being warned "Louisa, I would not be so foolish.." When she lands Louisa collapses in a heap. Thank goodness for Anne's ability to handle a stressful situation. Captain Wentworth starts to notice her strengths again.


Here is Bath in its grandeur.



The colonnade where Anne and Captain Wentworth kiss at the end of the movie.

"You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight and a half years ago. Dare not say that a man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant."
