Emily Bronte
The old church tower and garden wall Are black with autumn rain And dreary winds foreboding call The darkness down again
Emily Bronte
You have left me so long to struggle against death, alone, that I feel and see only death! I feel like death!
Emily Bronte

Emily Bronte
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

Emily Bronte
Honest people don't hide their deeds.
