Jane Eyre story (Charlotte Brontë)

My story ends. […]
And then, I saw the house. The house had no roof. Its walls were burnt and black. Nobody was living
there. I looked at the burnt, black house. I had seen this before. I had seen it in a dream! I was frightened.
Where was Edward Rochester? […]
‘I must go to Ferndean immediately.’
I got out of the carriage near Ferndean. I walked to the house. I Knocked on the door. A servant opened
it. I knew her.
‘Oh, Miss Eyre! You have come,’ she said. ‘Mr. Rochester’s bell,’ the woman said. ‘He wants some
candles.’ There were two candles on a table near the door. The woman lit them and she pecked them up.
‘Mr. Rochester is blind, but he always burns candles in his room in the evenings,’ she said.
‘Give the candles tome,’ I said. ‘I will take them to him.’[…]
‘I know that voice. And I know this little hand,’ Mr. Rochester said. ‘Is that you Jane?’
‘Yes, Sir, I have found you at last,’ I said. ‘I will never leave you again.’ Then I told Mr. Rochester my
story.
‘Why did you leave your cousins, Jane?’ Mr. Rochester asked. ‘Why did you come back to me? I am
blind. I have only one hand.’
‘I will have a wife, Edward,’ I said. ‘I will be your wife. I will marry you. I loved you very much at
Thornfield Hall. Now I love you more.’
Mr. Rochester and I got married. After a time, his eyes were better. He could see a little. He saw the face
of our first child! My dear Edward and I are very happy. 

Enchanted bike path inspired by van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’

    “I can’t change the fact that my paintings don’t sell,” Vincent van Gogh once said. “But the time will come when people will recognize that they are worth more than the value of the paints used in the picture.” It is, of course, a terrible shame van Gogh never lived to see the profound impact his art had on the world, forever transforming the way so many of us gaze upon the night sky.

    Vincent van Gogh’s wildest dreams probably couldn’t prepare him, for example, for the van Gogh-Roosegaarde Bicycle Path, an enchanting living artwork newly unveiled by Studio Roosegaarde. The kilometer-long path is adorned with a special paint that charges during the day and glows after dark. It runs through the Dutch province of Noord Brabant, where van Gogh was born and raised.

   The amazing novelty, at the intersection of art and technology, mimics the ecstatic energy and swirling movement of van Gogh’s original. Each illuminated fleck operates like a brushstroke, adding a small yet crucial element to the whirling, unfathomable whole. “It’s a new system that is self-sufficient and practical, and just incredibly poetic,” says designer Daan Roosegaarde.

    A solar panel close by generates power to illuminate the painted surface. Some LED lights are embedded in the path as well, casting extra light especially in the case of foggy weather. The fairy tale bike path is the second of Roosegaarde’s five-part Smart Highways project, which aims to create safe and environmentally friendly road networks. The first manifestation, “Glowing Lines,” employed photo-luminescent paint to brighten the edges of the road.

Gabriel García Márquez, Nobel Prize-winning author, dies at 87

By Todd Leopold, CNN

updated 9:55 AM EDT, Mon April 21, 2014

Gabriel García Márquez, the influential, Nobel Prize-winning author of "One Hundred

Years of Solitude" and "Love in the Time of Cholera," has died, his family and officials

said. He was 87.

The literary giant was treated in April for infections and dehydration at a Mexican hospital.

[5] García Márquez, a native of Colombia, is widely credited with helping to popularize

"magical realism," a genre "in which the fantastic and the realistic are combined in a richly

composed world of imagination," as the Nobel committee described it upon awarding him

the prize for literature in 1982.

He was sometimes called the most significant Spanish-language author since Miguel de

[10] Cervantes, the 16th-century author of "Don Quixote" and one of the great writers in

Western literature. Indeed, Chilean poet Pablo Neruda told Time that "One Hundred Years

of Solitude" was "the greatest revelation in the Spanish language since the Don Quixote of

Cervantes."

The author's cousin, Margarita Marquez, and Colombia's ambassador to Mexico, José

[15] Gabriel Ortiz, confirmed the author's death to CNN on Thursday. "We're left with the

memories and the admiration to all Colombians and also Mexicans because I think Gabo

was half Mexican and half Colombian. He's just as admired in Mexico as he is in (his

native) Colombia, all of Latin America and throughout the world," Ortiz told CNN.
