Honest people don't hide their deeds.
Emily Bronte
Image
I see heaven's glories shine and faith shines equal.
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
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
I take so little interest in my daily life, that I hardly remember to eat and drink.
Emily Bronte
Image
And from the midst of cheerless gloom I passed to bright unclouded day.
Emily Bronte
