Emily Bronte

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

The old church tower and garden wall Are black with autumn rain And dreary winds foreboding call The darkness down again
Emily Bronte

How strange! I thought, though everybody hated and despised each other, they could not avoid loving me.
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.

My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary.
Emily Bronte
Image
He had been content with daily labour and rough animal enjoyments, 'till Catherine crossed his path.

Hereafter she is only my sister in name not because I disown her, but because she has disowned me.
