Quote by Thomas Carlyle
“Non, je ne me trompe pas ! je lis dans ses yeux noirs le sincère intérêt qu'elle prend à moi et à mon sort. Oui, je sens, et là-dessus je puis m'en rapporter à mon coeur, je sens qu'elle… Oh ! l'oserai-je ? oserai-je prononcer ce mot qui vaut le ciel ?… Elle m'aime ! Elle m'aime ! combien je me deviens cher à moi-même ! combien… j'ose te le dire à toi, tu m'entendras… combien je m'adore depuis qu'elle m'aime !”

Thomas Carlyle was a Scottish satirical writer, essayist, historian and teacher during the Victorian era. He called economics "the dismal science", wrote articles for the Edinburgh Encyclopedia, and became a controversial social commentator.
Coming from a strict Calvinist family, Carlyle was expected by his parents to become a preacher, but while at the University of Edinburgh, he lost his Christian faith. Calvinist values, however, remained with him throughout his life. This combination of a religious temperament with loss of faith in traditional Christianity made Carlyle's work appealing to many Victorians who were grappling with scientific and political changes that threatened the traditional social order.
