Emily Brontë

“Then dawns the Invisible; the Unseen its truth reveals;My outward sense is gone, my inward essence feels:Its wings are almost free--its home, its harbour found,Measuring the gulph, it stoops and dares the final bound,"Oh I 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.”

“I have dreamt in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind. And this is one: I'm going to tell it - but take care not to smile at any part of it.”

“He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”

“The clock strikes off the hollow half-hours of all the life that is left to you, one by one.”

“I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine.”

“If you ever looked at me once with what I know is in you, I would be your slave.”

“... In the chamber of death... I see a repose that neither earth nor hell can break, and I feel an assurance of the endless and shadowless hereafter-the Eternity they have entered-where life is boundless in its duration, and love in its sympathy, and joy in its fullness... One might doubt in seasons of cold reflection; but not then in the presence of her corpse. It asserted its own tranquility, which seemed a pledge of equal quiet to its former inhabitant.”

“And I pray one prayer--I repeat it till my tongue stiffens--Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed you--haunt me, then!...Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!”

“LinesI die but when the grave shall pressThe heart so long endeared to theeWhen earthy cares no more distressAnd earthy joys are nought to me.Weep not, but think that I have pastBefore thee o'er the sea of gloom.Have anchored safe and rest at lastWhere tears and mouring can not come.'Tis I should weep to leave thee hereOn that dark ocean sailing drearWith storms around and fears beforeAnd no kind light to point the shore.But long or short though life may be'Tis nothing to eternity.We part below to meet on highWhere blissful ages never die.”

“He turned, as he spoke, a peculiar look in her direction, a look of hatred unless he has a most perverse set of facial muscles that will not, like those of other people, interpret the language of his soul.”

“THEY are afraid of nothing,' I grumbled, watching their approach through the window. 'Together, they would brave Satan and all his legions.”

“Riches I hold in light esteem,And love I laugh to scorn,And lust of fame was but a dreamThat vanished with the morn.And if I pray, the only prayerThat moves my lips for meIs, 'Leave the heart that now I bear,And give me liberty!'Yes, as my swift days near their goal,'Tis all that I implore -In life and death, a chainless soul,With courage to endure.”

“אדם שלא עשה חצי מיום עבודתו עד השעה עשר, יש סיכוי להשאיר את החצי השני בטל.”

“אני אלך לאן שהטבע שלי יוביל: זה מציק לי לבחור מדריך אחר.”

“חלמתי בחיי, חלומות שנשארו איתי מאז ומעולם, ושינו את הרעיונות שלי; הם עברו ועברו ודרכי, כמו יין במים, ושינו את צבע נפשי.”

“מעולם לא ביטאתי את אהבתי במילים; ובכל זאת, לו יכלו מבטים לדבר, כל אידיוט עשוי היה לנחש שאני מאוהב עד מעל לראשי. בסופו של דבר היא הבינה אותי, ונתנה בי מבט – המתוק במבטים שאפשר לדמיין.”

“הוא יאהב וישנא בחשאי בה במידה, ויראה בגילויי אהבה או שנאה כלפיו סוג של עזות מצח.”

“אדם שלא עשה חצי מיום עבודתו עד השעה עשר, יש סיכוי להשאיר את החצי השני בטל.”

“אני אלך לאן שהטבע שלי יוביל: זה מציק לי לבחור מדריך אחר.”

“חלמתי בחיי, חלומות שנשארו איתי מאז ומעולם, ושינו את הרעיונות שלי; הם עברו ועברו ודרכי, כמו יין במים, ושינו את צבע נפשי.”
