The reader believed his name was already written in the Lamb's book of life, and he yearned after the hour which should admit him to the city to which the kings of the earth bring their glory and honour; which has no need of sun or moon to shine in it, because the glory of God lightens it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

(Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë)

(Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë)
