Quote context

[...]

- Desolate and lonely are the rolling moorlands of England where, in the winter night, the snowdrifts stand like giant spectres in the teeth of screaming gales.

- About one hundred years ago, a stranger lost his way on such a night.

- Freezing, blinded and stumbling, he saw at last the fitful lights of an old manor house, aged and crumbling on the hillside.

- He knocked desperately at the door... It was opened by a doddering old butler who stood staring at him.

- Then, without a word, he led the stranger into the musty living room, where in the dim candlelight, a man and two women sat without moving.

- The man was tall and dark-skinned, like a gypsy. On his face, the stamp of years of bitter suffering.

- At his feet, a great dog growled ominously.

- At last the man turned and spoke.

- Who are you? And what do you want?

- My name's Lockwood. I've lost my way on the moors.

Ah, so he's lost some of his pride, has he? Well, there's none gone in this house.
I want to crawl to her feet, whimper to be forgiven for loving her. For needing her more than my own life. For belonging to her more than my own soul.
The only thing is, I wonder if I belong in heaven. I dreamed once I was there and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to earth, to the bleak moors. And I awoke, sobbing with joy, on top of Wuthering Heights.
I forgive you, I forgive you for what you've done. I love you, I love my murderer.
I killed you. Then haunt me. Be with me always. Take any form you wish. Only don't leave me where I can't find you.
