"Canst thou then love me?"
"I know not what love is; but this can I tell thee, that it is as if I now first began to live, and that I am so devoted to thee that I would this instant die for thee."
"My Matilda, now for the first time do I feel what it is to be immortal."
"Dear Henry, how infinitely good thou art. What a glorious spirit speaks from thee. I am a poor, insignificant girl."
"How thou dost make me blush! Indeed I am what I am only through thee. Without thee I were nothing. What were a spirit without a heaven; and thou art the heaven that upbears and supports me."
"How divinely happy should I be, wert thou as faithful as my father. My mother died shortly after my birth; yet my father weeps for her every day."
"I deserve it not, yet may I be happier than he!"
"I would joyfully live long by thy side, dear Henry. Certainly through thee I should become much better."
"O! Matilda, even death shall not separate us."
"No, Henry, where I am, wilt thou be."
