She was to learn she and her father were not the only ones capable of high emotions within Haworth Parsonage's circle.<br /><br />Under her nose there was another. One who could not express his feelings as she could and usually would not mentally dwell upon those feelings as she would; but Arthur Bell Nicholls <i> felt </i> his feelings very deeply indeed. He was perhaps the most feeling person Charlotte ever meet outside her own family. <br /><br />Being capable of having simular high emotions and so understand them at some levle is the most important thing I think and how they eventually established thier bond. <br /><br />He could not craft a poem. He would not think to try. But Arthur Bell Nicholls understood the emotions found in poetry and, according to George Sowden, Arthur loved to recite it. That was after all a very great deal. <br />Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05033117202223821117noreply@blogger.com
