Complete Poems of Emily Jane Bronte
Complete Poems of Emily Jane Bronte | Emily Bront
37 posts | 15 read | 10 to read
In 1846 a small book entitled Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell appeared on the British literary scene. The three pseudonymous poets, the Bronte sisters, went on to unprecedented success with such novels as Wuthering Heights, Agnes Grey, and Jane Eyre, all published in the following year. As children, these English sisters had begun writing poems and stories about an imaginary country named Gondal, yet they never sought to publish any of their work until Charlotte's discovery of Emily's more mature poems in the autumn of 1845, Charlotte later recalled: "I accidentally lighted on a MS. volume of verse in my sister Emily's handwriting... I looked it over, and something more than surprise seized me - a deep conviction that these were not common effusions, nor at all like the poetry women generally write. I thought them condensed and terse, vigorous and genuine. To my ear they had also a peculiar musicwild, melancholy, and elevating." The renowned Hatfield edition of The Complete Poems of Emily Jane Bronte includes the poetry that captivated Charlotte Bronte a century and a half ago, a body of work that continues to resonate today. This incomparable volume includes Emily's verse from Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell as well as 200 works collected from various manuscript sources after her death in 1848. Some were edited and preserved by Charlotte and Arthur Bell Nichols; still others were discovered years later by Bronte scholars. Originally released in 1923, Hatfield's collection was the result of a remarkable attempt over twenty years to isolate Emily's poems from her sisters' and to achieve chronological order. Accompanied by an interpretive preface on "The Gondal Story" byMiss Fannie E. Ratchford, author of The Brontes Web of Childhood, this edition is the definitive collection of Emily Bronte's poetical works.

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.

“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.

Mystic.Archives.Of.Dantalian

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!

quote
Mystic.Archives.Of.Dantalian

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 !

quote
Mystic.Archives.Of.Dantalian

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;

quote
Mystic.Archives.Of.Dantalian

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

"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

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.

Wuthering Heights is my favorite classic. I later read and loved Emily Bronte's poetry (as well as her biography by Winifred Gerin).⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
