I've dreamt in my life dreams that have
stayed with me ever after, and changed
my ideas; they've gone through and
through me, like wine through water,
and altered the color of my mind.
-Emily Bronte
The writer who possesses the
creative gift owns something of
which he is not always master --
something that at time strangely
wills and works for itself.
-Charlotte Bronte
The Night Is Darkening Round Me
The night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And I cannot, cannot go.
The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow,
And the storm is fast descending
And yet I cannot go.
Clouds beyond clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing drear can move me;
I will not, cannot go.
- Emily Bronte
