You have left me so long to struggle against death, alone, that I feel and see only death! I feel like death!
Emily Bronte
Image
The entire world is a collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her.
Emily Bronte
Image
There is not room for Death, Nor atom that his might could render void: Thou - Thou art Being and Breath, And what Thou art may never be destroyed.
Emily Bronte

Emily Bronte
Image
I got the sexton, who was digging Linton's grave, to remove the earth off her coffin lid, and I opened it. I thought, once, I would have stayed there, when I saw her face again - it is hers yet - he had hard work to stir me but he said it would change, if the air blew on it.

Emily Bronte

I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy, and free... Why am I so changed? I'm sure I should be myself were I once among the heather on those hills.
Emily Bronte
Image
You must forgive me, for I struggled only for you.
Emily Bronte
Image
Earnsha was not to be civilized with a wish, and my young lady was no philosopher, and no paragon of patience but both their minds tending to the same point - one loving and desiring to esteem, and the other loving and desiring to be esteemed - they contrived in the end to reach it.
Emily Bronte
Image
Look on the grave where thou must sleep Thy last, and strongest foe It is endurance not to weep, If that repose seem woe.
Emily Bronte
Image
Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.
Emily Bronte
Image
No coward soul is mine, No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere.
Emily Bronte
Image
The winter wind is loud and wild, Come close to me, my darling child Forsake thy books, and mate less play And, while the night is gathering grey, We'll talk its pensive hours away.
Emily Bronte
Image
I have fled my country and gone to the heather.
Emily Bronte
Image
Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I can not live without my life! I can not live without my soul!
Emily Bronte
