Quote

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!

Alas, for the effects of bad tea and bad temper!
Emily Bronte
Image
I'm happiest when most away I can bear my soul from its home of clay On a windy night when the moon is bright And the eye can wander through worlds of light— When I am not and none beside— Nor earth nor sea nor cloudless sky— But only spirit wandering wide Through infinite immensity.
Emily Bronte
Image
Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.
Emily Bronte
Image
But there's this one difference: one is gold put to the use of paving-stones, and the other is tin polished to ape a service of silver. Mine has nothing valuable about it yet I shall have the merit of making it go as far as such poor stuff can go. His had first-rate qualities, and they are lost, rendered worst than unavailing.
Emily Bronte
Image
Still let my tyrants know, I am not doomed to wear Year after year in gloom, and desolate despair A messenger of Hope comes every night to me, And offers for short life, eternal liberty.
Emily Bronte
Image
You know that I could as soon forget you as my existence!
Emily Bronte
Image
But you might as well bid a man struggling in the water, rest within arm's length of the shore! I must reach it first, and then I'll rest.
Emily Bronte
Image
You must forgive me, for I struggled only for you.
Emily Bronte

In secret pleasure — secret tears This changeful life has slipped away
Emily Bronte
Image
Terror made me cruel.
Emily Bronte
Image
And, even yet, I dare not let it languish, Dare not indulge in memory's rapturous pain Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish, How could I seek the empty world again?
Emily Bronte
Image
The old church tower and garden wall Are black with autumn rain And dreary winds foreboding call The darkness down again
Emily Bronte
Image
Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.
Emily Bronte
Image
Though earth and man were gone, And suns and universes ceased to be, And Thou wert left alone, Every existence would exist in Thee.
Emily Bronte
Image
I take so little interest in my daily life, that I hardly remember to eat and drink.
Emily Bronte
Image
The entire world is a collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her.
Emily Bronte
Image
Nonsense, do you imagine he has thought as much of you as you have of him?
Emily Bronte
Image
He’s more myself than I am
Emily Bronte
Image
He turned, as he spoke, a peculiar look in her direction, a look of hatred unless he has a most perverse set of facial muscles that will not, like those of other people, interpret the language of his soul.
Emily Bronte
Image
How strange! I thought, though everybody hated and despised each other, they could not avoid loving me.
Emily Bronte
