Emily Bronte

Emily Bronte

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
Hereafter she is only my sister in name not because I disown her, but because she has disowned me.
Emily Bronte
Image
It was not the thorn bending to the honeysuckles, but the honeysuckles embracing the thorn.
Emily Bronte
Image
Though earth and man were gone, And suns and universes ceased to be, And Thou wert left alone, Every existence would exist in Thee.
Emily Bronte
Image
I will walk where my own nature would be leading.
Emily Bronte
Image
You're hard to please: so many friends and so few cares, and can't make yourself content.
Emily Bronte
Image
I have to remind myself to breathe -- almost to remind my heart to beat!
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
You must forgive me, for I struggled only for you.
