Beautiful Symbolism Quote
“He was touched in the cavity where his heart should have been – in that nest of addled eggs, where the birds of Heaven would have lived if they had not been whistled away – by the fervour of this reproach,” (Dickens 225-6).
I thought that this quote was really meaningful because of the symbolism that it presents. The fact that the heart is being symbolized by the "birds of Heaven" is really cool because it makes the heart sound like a gorgeous place "to live". I think thats really important since the whole book is about living through both your heart and your mind.
