I'll be as dirty as I please, and I like to be dirty, and I will be dirty!
Emily Bronte
Image
A heaven so clear, an earth so calm, So sweet, so soft, so hushed an air And, deepening still the dreamlike charm, Wild moor-sheep feeding everywhere.
Emily Bronte
Image
If I had caused the cloud, it was my duty to make an effort to dispel it.
Emily Bronte
Image
Sweet Love of youth, forgive, if I forget thee, While the world's tide is bearing me along Sterner desires and darker hopes beset me, Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong.
Emily Bronte
Image
I will walk where my own nature would be leading.
Emily Bronte
