It’s no company at all, when people know nothing and say nothing,’ she muttered.
Emily Bronte
Image
And from the midst of cheerless gloom I passed to bright unclouded day.
Emily Bronte

I cannot express it: but surely you and everybody have a notion that there is, or should be, an existence of yours beyond you.
Emily Bronte
Image
How strange! I thought, though everybody hated and despised each other, they could not avoid loving me.

Are you acquainted with the mood of mind in which, if you were seated alone, and the cat licking its kitten on the rug before you, you would watch the operation so intently that puss's neglect of one ear would put you seriously out of temper?
Emily Bronte
