Persuasion love :3

So I just watched an extremely, EXTREMELY good Austen novel film. 1995 BBC version of Persuasion. It. Was. GLORIOUS. I really have no idea where to begin. It's a really slow, but beautiful movie. The love between Anne and Wentworth... is just beautiful. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I love Austen at times. I love the characters she can create and their love. I've watched the 2007 version of Persuasion, but it's nowhere NEAR as good. And the ending scenes? Heartwarmingly beautiful. When they almost kiss as the circus goes by... and then walking down the lane by themselves... it was just... :3. And whenever he'd start that line "I never..." It was just... I love Persuasion

"You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight and a half years ago. Dare not say that a man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant."
^Wentworth's ending letter. I loved it. Blah, I'm just all warm hearted and stuff from the movie. I love Anne. She is uncommonly thoughtful and kind, as well as level headed, who tries to hide her emotions so as they don't trouble anyone... She is one of Austen's finest characters. :)

Now excuse me while I fangirl more over Austen. :D
