MY BRIDE! WHAT BRIDE? I HAVE NO BRIDE!

TO LIVE, FOR ME, JANE, IS TO STAND ON A CRATER-CRUST WHICH MAY CRACK AND SPUE FIRE ANY DAY.
COME TO ME—COME TO ME ENTIRELY NOW. MAKE MY HAPPINESS—I WILL MAKE YOURS. GOD PARDON ME! AND MAN MEDDLE NOT WITH ME: I HAVE HER, AND WILL HOLD HER. There is no one to meddle, sir.  I have no kindred to interfere. NO—THAT IS THE BEST OF IT. ARE YOU HAPPY, JANE? Yes. IT WILL ATONE—IT WILL ATONE. HAVE I NOT FOUND HER FRIENDLESS, AND COLD, AND COMFORTLESS? WILL I NOT GUARD, AND CHERISH, AND SOLACE HER? IS THERE NOT LOVE IN MY HEART, AND CONSTANCY IN MY RESOLVE? IT WILL EXPIATE AT GOD’S TRIBUNAL. I KNOW MY MAKER SANCTIONS WHAT I DO. FOR THE WORLD’S JUDGMENT—I WASH MY HANDS THEREOF. FOR MAN’S OPINION—I DEFY IT.

Yes.
