Emily Bronte
There is not room for Death, Nor atom that his might could render void: Thou - Thou art Being and Breath, And what Thou art may never be destroyed.
Emily Bronte
And from the midst of cheerless gloom I passed to bright unclouded day.
Emily Bronte
In secret pleasure — secret tears This changeful life has slipped away
Emily Bronte
I have to remind myself to breathe -- almost to remind my heart to beat!
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
