“Have I forgot, my only Love, to love thee, Severed at last by Time's all-severing wave?”

— Emily Brontë, "Remembrance", st. 1, 1846

About Emily Brontë

1818 – 1848

English novelist and poet, author of 'Wuthering Heights' (1847).

“I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas.”

“Shall Earth no more inspire thee, Thou lonely dreamer now?”

“The night is darkening round me, The wild winds coldly blow; But a tyrant spell has bound me And I cannot, cannot go.”

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”

“If music be the food of love, play on.”

“Love the little trade which thou hast learned, and be content therewith.”

“Not to display anger or other emotions. To be free of passion and yet full of love.”

“I call upon you, young men, to obey your heart, and be the nobility of this land.”

“Give all to love; obey thy heart.”
