Thank you. Y...How nice to see my comment as a post! Thank you. You have a wonderful blog here. Your love and dedication to the Brontës is remarkable and touching. <br /><br />Indeed I'll be painting a portait pair of Charlotte and Arthur in the future( with video!) and I'm looking forward to it.<br /><br />I was just reading how even late in life when Mr. Nicholls and his 2nd wife, had younger family members visiting, if they happen to be reading Charlotte's books,they had to quickly hide them when Arthur came into the room. Because even this slight reminder so many years later would be hurtful to him.<br /><br />50 years after Charlotte's passing , Arthur spent his own last days eagerly awaiting seeing her again. <br /><br />This kind of love is extraordinary.It sweeps away one's mere ideas about oneself. That fog of ego based ideas of who we are that we mostly live in and believe to be our selves...unless an event like Arthur's love for Charlotte happens to us.<br /><br />One cannot forget such a love because it's a state of being. It's a doorway to one's authentic self.<br /><br />But most likely nothing less than such a love would have moved Charlotte to final accept Arthur Bell Nicholls. <br /><br />Whatever Arthur's intellectual limitations were next to Charlotte's, he was her match emotionally and that was the more rare and important of the two to her.
