For you are a lady high and valiant and have yourself won renown that shall not be forgotten; and you are a lady beautiful, I deem, beyond even the words of the Elven-tongue to tell. And I love you. Once I pitied your sorrow. But now, were you sorrowless, without fear or any lack, were you the blissful Queen of Gondor, still I would love you. Éowyn, do you not love me?'    Then the heart of Éowyn changed, or else at last she understood it. And suddenly her winter passed, and the sun shone on her.

― Jane Austen, Emma
