The Poems of Emily Bronte
The Poems of Emily Bronte | Emily Bront
23 posts | 5 read | 9 to read
This new edition of Emily Bronte's poetrythe first for 50 yearscontains all those poems which she herself chose to keep. It is based on the texts of the three notebooks into which she transcribed her poems supplemented by others on single sheets scattered in various collections, and the versions published in Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell and in Charlotte's 1850 edition of the novels. Variants between the Notebooks and the latter are listed in the Notes. The majority of the poems stand without need of explanation. However, it is helpful to be aware of the context in which they were written, and especially their relationship to the imaginary world of "gondal" shared by Emily and Anne. This and the history are explained fully in the Introduction and Notes.

#PoetryMatters - Dazzle: Ah! why, because sunlight glinting off a body of water in the early morning dazzles the eyes. Ah! why, because cherishing the company of one loved and longed for dazzles the heart. Ah! why, because the writing of Emily Brontë expressing the purity of desire dazzles the mind.

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;
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.

Happy #nationalpoetrymonth! Emily Bronte wrote just one novel, but she was known for her poetry, too. So much passion infused!

And what is the future happy one?
A sea beneath a cloudless sun
A mighty glorious dazzling sea
Stretching into infinity.

Emily Brontë asking all the right questions on day 2 of the #LitsyPoetry365 challenge...my weather app (and the sky) says sunny, the man on the radio says we'll get freezing rain ?

451Degrees Fitting poem for the day then!☺️ 8y

Day 1 of the #LitsyPoetry365 project ? This is the first collection I want to get through - Emily Brontë's poems. It should see me through a few months I think! Oh, and happy New Year everyone! I'm really glad to leave 2016 behind ??

SharonGoforth @mllemay I love Emily Bronte but have never read any of her poetry! Thanks for the recommendation. Must stack! 😊 8y
mllemay @SharonGoforth I bought it a few years ago but have never read from it and your challenge is the perfect excuse! 8y
