SOLVED. Gothic book or story about vampires (I think). [s]

[Agarimoso]

Good morning

I am a great reader (especially of classic books and among them especially of English writers, of course) and I really like to write down phrases that I like from books (or movies)

There is a sentence that I have written down for years but I don't remember which book it is from (I read too much :-)). I know the book is a gothic story and I think its theme is vampire.

As I am Spanish (here is little read but some of us rebel against this reprehensible gesture) I have written down the phrase in Spanish and in this case, as it is somewhat long, I have used the google translator even knowing that I will lose many of the nuances that it will have to an English reader and will make it more difficult to recognize her.

Even so, if someone knows her and tells me what book or story she is from, I will be very grateful. Best wishes

this is the text:

but I have already made my promise, my lineage will disappear from the face of the earth; right now my brother is preparing the car; Very soon his footsteps will be heard in the gallery and you will go with him and I will never see you again.

Remember me from time to time as someone who has had to face life face to face, but who learned his lessons without flinching; like someone who really loved you, but she hated herself so much that her love was hateful to her; as someone who made you go away and yet longed to live with you forever; that she had no greater hope than to forget you, no greater fear than to be forgotten

Anne Rice wrote many vampire novels. Have you ruled out all her books?

[Agarimoso]

Yes I have ruled out that it is hers because I have not read anything by Anne Rice. I think it will be an older book, maybe a short story. I thought that Lefanu's book would be by Carmilla but I have it at home and at first glance it seems to me that it is not

but thank you very much for the comment and the help, Ky 😁

The story is "Olalla" by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Olalla

Features in a collection called The Merry Men which contains some of his finest stories in the gothic/horror tradition.

hello Jon

thank you very much for your help you have given me happiness

and thanks to all those who have read this post to try to help, especially to the people who have provided an answer to achieve it

Indeed it is Olalla; I have already located the book at home that has several stories and this is one of them (in fact, inside the book I found a small sheet that I printed with this specific phrase, although the whole story seems very nice to me)
