Emily Bronte "The Prisoner"
But first, a hush of peace--a soundless calm descends;
The struggle of distress and fierce impatience ends.
Mute music soothes my breast--unutter'd harmony
That I could never dream, till Earth was lost to me.
Then dawns the Invisible; the Unseen its truth reveals;
My outward sense is gone, my inward essence feels;
Its wings are almost free--its home, its harbour found,
Measuring the gulf, it stoops, and dares the final bound. O dreadful is the check--intense the agony--
When the ear begins to hear, and the eye begins to see;
When the pulse begins to throb--the brain to think again--
The soul to feel the flesh, and the flesh to feel the chain.
Yet I would lose no sting, would wish no torture less;
The more that anguish racks, the earlier it will bless;
And robed in fires of hell, or bright with heavenly shine,
If it but herald Death, the vision is divine. The Prisoner, by Emily Brontë

beautiful Lyra...
the scene takes place atop A notched parapet built on top of a half-circular stoned wall for background... with a minor character speaking to her ghost...
If I am not capable of loving anything that lives or breathes, can I escape life without harming any?
her hand an elegant gesture wrapped in lace caught in grey skies... her ghost sings...
...Scars on my skin
Scars on my heart
Scars on my soul
Reminding me of myself
