I woke sobbing for joy

Wuthering Heights and Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles are discussed in the folklore section of BellaOnline:

...heaven did not seem to be my home, and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to earth; and the angels were so angry that they flung me out into the middle of the heath on top of Wuthering Heights, where I woke sobbing for joy."
Catherine Earnshaw, from Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte 1818 - 1848

The moors, around Devon in England's West Country, are ravaged by westerly winds, bringing with them unsettled and windy weather, particularly in winter, and the winds in spring and early summer bring the heavy mists . One can clearly imagine Emily Bronte's Catherine and Heathcliff, of Wuthering Heights, standing at the top of one of the crags, his arms around her, her back to him, her head resting on his chest, staring out across to Wuthering Heights. Catherine's long, thick hair and dress skirts blowing wildly, Heathcliff's wild tangle of curls ruffled and forced back off his dark and passionate brow - locked for all eternity in their forbidden love for each other and their beloved heather moorland. (...)
So, if you are seeking romance in the lovely English countryside, stay clear of the moors at night. During the day the lands are breathtakingly beautiful with the English Heather and other wild flowers, butterflies and birds flitting about, the lovely roaming hills, the fresh scent of the sea - one could get lost in their own romantic imagination there. Driving through all this beauty makes one want to stop, jump out of the car and run across the heather laden hills as Catherine did when looking for Heathcliff. But, only the very brave or the spirits of the ones very much in love, like Catherine and Heathcliff, who know every inch of the land that offers so many surprises, dare traverse these moorlands when the sun sets. You would be better off staying in the more populated places with friends. (Phyllis Doyle Burns)

The Southern Oregon Mail Tribune reviews Charles Ludlum's The Mystery of Irma Vep, the new production of the Oregon Cabaret Theatre in Ashland, Oregon:

"Part of what's funny is how serious they are about what they're doing," Giancarlo said. The show is a campy and loving send-up of the old mystery films like "Jane Eyre," "Rebecca," and "Gaslight." [said Oregon Cabaret artistic director Jim Giancarlo.] (Richard Moeschl)

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë taught me to empathize with a character so much so that I became the character. I knew Jane’s feelings because I’d felt them in my own life. I strive to connect readers with their mirror image in some way, shape, or form, and ultimately give them hope for that situation.
