Eponine: Don't you fret, Monsieur Marius. I don't feel any pain. A little fall of rain can hardly hurt me now. You're here. That's all I need to know. And you will keep me safe, and you will keep me close, and rain will make the flowers grow.
Marius: But you will live, 'Ponine, dear God above. I could heal your wounds with words of love.
Eponine: Just hold me now, and let it be. Shelter me, comfort me.
Eponine: I love him, but every day I'm learning. All my life, I've only been pretending. Without me, his world will go on turning--a world that's full of happiness that I have never known.
