This line comes from one of the most beautiful moments in Charlotte Bronte’s classic novel, when Jane Eyre tells Mr. Rochester that she believes he would stop loving her if she went mad. He responds with so much unconditional love! The longer quote is this: “Then you are mistaken, and you know nothing about me, and nothing about the sort of love of which I am capable. Every atom of your flesh is as dear to me as my own: in pain and sickness it would still be dear. Your mind is my treasure, and if it were broken, it would be my treasure still: if you raved, my arms should confine you, and not a strait waistcoat--your grasp, even in fury, would have a charm for me: if you flew at me as wildly…I should receive you in an embrace, at least as fond as it would be restrictive. I should not shrink from you with disgust…In your quiet moments you should have no watcher and no nurse but me; and I could hang over you with untiring tenderness, though you gave me no smile in return; and never weary of gazing into your eyes, though they had no longer a ray of recognition for me.”
The back remains blank, so that you can customize this card with your own “untiring tenderness.”
