"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. " - Jane Austen
Uttered by Mr. Darcy to Elizabeth Bennett in Pride & Prejudice, this is certainly one of the most romantic lines in all of English literature.
To capture the way in which Darcy is swept away by love almost against his will, I illustrated a pair of kites that have entangled themselves high above the man and woman flying them, pulling them into each other's path and binding them together. The tails of the kites suggest a romantic heart.
