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
No coward soul is mine, No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere.
Emily Bronte
Image
What kind of living will it be when you - Oh, God! Would you like to live with your soul in the grave?
Emily Bronte
Image
I have dreamed in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.
Emily Bronte

Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Emily Bronte

Shall Earth no more inspire thee, Thou lonely dreamer now?
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'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
Time brought resignation and a melancholy sweeter than common joy.
Emily Bronte
Image
Hereafter she is only my sister in name not because I disown her, but because she has disowned me.
Emily Bronte
Image
You have left me so long to struggle against death, alone, that I feel and see only death! I feel like death!
Emily Bronte
Image
Nonsense, do you imagine he has thought as much of you as you have of him?
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.
