"No words will ever be able to express my feelings, nor no time to erase them from my heart."
Metaphor in Context
The moment I left Miss Harrison, I set off in pursuit of my destiny,--you know it Stanley.--Fear not that I shall ever attempt to describe the scene that passed between Lady Juliana and me.--No words will ever be able to express my feelings, nor no time to erase them from my heart.--Yet let me boast her tenderness, and tell you, that she wept for your unhappy friend!--tears do not flow from hatred,--angels tears are tears of pity.--Whilst I have life I will cherish the fond remembrance of her gentle sorrow.--Do not chide me Stanley.--The only glimpse I have of happiness is the being certain, that she does not hate me.--
