Among the many families which had come in internecine enmity, Gillespie and his daughter strained in the unlove which was like hate up to the door of the Temple. He had taunted her with Dylks's failure to work the miracle and with his absence during the week. "If I could get my hands on him, I would pull him out of his hole, and make him face the people he's deceived.
And now, having once loved, she will be slow to unlove again. It is quite dark now as dark, at least, as it will be all night and two or three stars are beginning to quiver out, small and cold, in the infinite distances of the sky. The sight of them, faintly trembling between the bare boughs of the trees, is the first thing that calls me back to the consciousness of outward things.
Without doubt there is a wrong in the other person. But our reaction to that wrong is wrong too! The mote in him has provoked in us resentment, or coldness, or criticism, or bitterness, or evil speaking, or ill will all of them variants of the basic ill, unlove. A mote means in the Greek a little splinter, whereas a beam means a rafter.
"I know I understand," she replied quietly. "I'm ashamed of loving him." She turned her head restlessly aside. "But, don't you see, love can't be made and unmade to order. It just happens. And it's happened to me. In the circumstances, I can't say I like it. But there it is. I do love Garth and I can't unlove him. At least, not yet." "But some day, Sara, some day?" he urged. She shook her head.
People can't love and then unlove in that sort o' fashion. Tell me the truth, Ally. Something made you angry; and you love me as much as ever, don't you, darlin'? Come, let us make it up. There is something at the bottom of this, and you ought to tell me. As to your not loving me, that is all fudge, you know."
Is it possible that even then he thought of the lost sheep who could not believe that God was their Father; and for them, too, in all their loss and blindness and unlove, cried, saying the word they might say, knowing for them that God means Father and more, and knowing now, as he had never known till now, what a fearful thing it is to be without God and without hope?
She goes beyond material things or the mere physical side of love." "Then there is no chance for you unless Sara learns to unlove this man?" Tim regarded her with faint amusement. "Mother, do you think you could learn to unlove me or my father?" She laughed a little. "You have me there, Tim," she acknowledged.
"Should you think so? Ah, Mary, we cannot unlove in a minute; love is a great while dying. I do not worship him now as I did. I know what he is. I know he is bad, and I am sorry for it. I should like to cover it from all the world, even from you, Mary, since I see it makes you dislike him; it hurts me to hear any one else blame him.
Rochester: I could not unlove him now, merely because I found that he had ceased to notice me because I might pass hours in his presence, and he would never once turn his eyes in my direction because I saw all his attentions appropriated by a great lady, who scorned to touch me with the hem of her robes as she passed; who, if ever her dark and imperious eye fell on me by chance, would withdraw it instantly as from an object too mean to merit observation.
"I have loved you all my life all my life," she answered; "how can I begin to unlove you now now when it is too late? Do you think I am any the less yours if you throw me away? If you break my heart can I help its still loving you?" "Betty, Betty," he said again, and his voice quivered. "Take me with you," she repeated passionately, saying it over and over again with her lips upon his arm.
