A Glowing Light

Whilst stalking, er, following my newest favorite Scottish actor, the very fine James McAvoy (who replaces him)(who's a bit of a man-whore)(oh, maybe I'll keep both), The Baroness came across one of his movies last night - "Becoming Jane".

While I'm a sucker for all of these period pieces (even with their lack of shiny), the line that transfixed me was one between Jane Austen and her cousin Cassandra on a story Jane was thinking of.

Cassandra: Will it be a happy marriage?

Jane: It will be an incadescent marriage.

Wow.

Incandescent.

That there be a powerful word - bringing forth both sighs and envy.

For today, put aside both your pride and your prejudice. By whatever means necessary - try to bring that brilliance, that luminosity into your union.

Only happy endings can come of it.
