'Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs. We are, and must be, one and all, burdened with faults in this world: but the time will soon come when, I trust, we shall put them off in putting off our corruptible bodies; when debasement and sin will fall from us with this cumbrous frame of flesh, and only the spark of the spirit will remain..'

Very atmospheric and Brontë-esque picture. You can almost hear the howling winds across the moors. :)
Aww, Helen, bless 'er. Too wise for her years, life cut so short.
