"The eye — it cannot choose but see; We cannot bid the ear be still; Our bodies feel, where'er they be, Against or with our will" — Expostulation and Reply, Lyrical Ballads (1798) by William Wordsworth.

#CONTROL IT#POETIC CINEMA#like there is SOOO much to analyze#yearning#the other bennet sister#bbc#donal finn#dónal finn#ella bruccoleri#tom hayward#mary bennet#mr hayward#mary bennet x mr hayward#mary bennet x tom hayward#jane austen#pride and prejudice#ALSO ella looks so ethereal in that second scene#the combo of them two scenes makes mary and tom's relationship even hotter#there's just something insanely intimate about that second scene like#everything about it is so romantic#her lips almost touching the book as she realizes the effect of the poem and by extension Tom has on her#her sighing too#tbos#but she's also experimenting both a seggsual and literary awakening
