Oh, for the time when I shall sleep Without identity.
Emily Bronte
Image
Look on the grave where thou must sleep Thy last, and strongest foe It is endurance not to weep, If that repose seem woe.
Emily Bronte
Image
Still let my tyrants know, I am not doomed to wear Year after year in gloom, and desolate despair A messenger of Hope comes every night to me, And offers for short life, eternal liberty.
Emily Bronte
Image
He had been content with daily labour and rough animal enjoyments, 'till Catherine crossed his path. Shame at her scorn, and hope of her approval, were his first prompts to higher pursuits and, instead of guarding him from one and winning him to the other, his endeavors to raise himself had produced just the contrary result.
Emily Bronte
Image
I take so little interest in my daily life, that I hardly remember to eat and drink.
Emily Bronte
Image
I gave him my heart, and he took and pinched it to death and flung it back to me.

Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.
Emily Bronte

I have to remind myself to breathe -- almost to remind my heart to beat!
