Emily


Oh! dreadful is the check-
intense the agony-
When the ear begins to hear,
And the eye begins to see;
When the pulse begins to throb,
The brain to think again;
The soul to feel the flesh,
And the flesh to feel the chain.

-Emily Bronte

  1. I'm making my way through Anne Bronte's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall right now.

    Current assessment: ugh. Emily and Charlotte were infinitely better.
