What a treasure! Kudos to those who stepped up to preserve this literary treasure for the public instead of allowing it to be hidden away in a private collection.

#FallFinds Day 4: Fats shared Emily Bronte‘s poem for Poetry Friday featuring #FallColours. Her full post here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-kVB
“So hopeless is the world without;
The world within I doubly prize;
Thy world, where guile, and hate, and doubt,
And cold suspicion never rise;
Where thou, and I, and Liberty,
Have undisputed sovereignty.“
Remembering Emily Brontë on her birthday.
Mirth is but a mad beguiling
Of the golden-gifted time;
Love—a demon-meteor, wiling
Heedless feet to gulfs of crime.
Those who follow earthly pleasure,
Heavenly knowledge will not lead;
Wisdom hides from them her treasure,
Virtue bids them evil-speed!
To match his patience 'gainst her hate,
His heart rebellious all the while.
Where Pleasure still will lead to wrong,
And helpless Reason warn in vain;
And Truth is weak, and Treachery strong;
And Joy the surest path to Pain;
And Peace, the lethargy of Grief;
And Hope, a phantom of the soul;
And Life, a labour, void and brief;
And Death, the despot of the whole !
And, this shall be my dream to-night;
I'll think the heaven of glorious spheres
Is rolling on its course of light
In endless bliss, through endless years;
I'll think, there's not one world above,
Far as these straining eyes can see,
Where Wisdom ever laughed at Love,
Or Virtue crouched to Infamy;
Reason, indeed, may oft complain
For Nature's sad reality,
And tell the suffering heart how vain
Its cherished dreams must always be;
And Truth may rudely trample down
The flowers of Fancy, newly-blown
“Shall earth no more inspire thee” by Emily Bronte.

"No coward #soul is mine
No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere."
Who doesn't take heart from this beautiful poem by Emily Bronte? In fact, all three sisters in this #family are an #inspiration to me- I love their imagination, and their rebellious determination, and I'm grateful to them for writing heroines who control their own destinies. #QuotsyNov18 #FallIntoReading #Gratitude30

Some of the books I got for my birthday in April. I've even read one of them already! 😂
Happy birthday, Liberty, and thanks for another chance at fun books! 🎉 🎈

Poetry has never really been my thing, but I've been trying to read more in the last year, thanks to Litsy.
This is my latest acquisition in my quest to read all things Bronte.
pickWuthering Heights is my favorite classic. I later read and loved Emily Bronte's poetry (as well as her biography by Winifred Gerin).⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
