ALL ABOUT EMILY BRONTE 
the author of the "wuthering heights "



EMILY BRONTE QUOTES

A person who has not done one half his day's work by ten o'clock,
 runs a chance of leaving the other half undone.
EMILY BRONTE, Wuthering Heights
Vain are the thousand creeds
That move men's hearts: unutterably vain;
Worthless as withered weeds,
Or idlest froth amid the boundless main.
EMILY BRONTE, Last Lines


Anne, Emily and Charlotte Bronte, c.1834

Poems of Emily Brontë 

  Riches I Hold in Light Esteem (March 1, 1841)

Riches I hold in light esteem
And Love I laugh to scorn
And lust of Fame was but a dream
That vanished with the morn–

And if I pray, the only prayer
That moves my lips for me
Is–"Leave the heart that now I bear
And give me liberty."

Yes, as my swift days near their goal
'Tis all that I implore
Through life and death, a chainless soul
With courage to endure!
