Persuasion (2007)

I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. 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 years and a half ago. Dare not say that 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. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F. W. I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether I enter your father’s house this evening or never.

Miss Elliot, I can bear this no longer. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years ago. I have loved none but you. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? I can hardly write. I must go, uncertain of my fate. A word, a look, will be enough. Annie… tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feeling have gone forever.

I have loved none but you.

I seriously love this movie. It’s by far my favorite of Jane Austen’s stories.

Q&A from TV&Satellite Week Magazine, 31.03.2007.

She hoped to be wise and reasonable in time; but alas! Alas! She must confess to herself that she was not wise yet.

Anne: Captain…Captain, I am in receipt of your proposal and am minded to accept it. Thank you. 

Wentworth: Are you quite certain? 

Anne: I am. I am determined. I will. And nothing, you may be sure, will ever persuade me otherwise. 

Persuasion (2007)

This is my favourite Jane Austen adaption. It’s simply perfect.
