Then let my winds caress thee —
Thy comrade let me be —
Since naught beside can bless thee
Return and dwell with me —

More quotes by Emily Brontë

Love is like the wild rose-briar;
Friendship like the holly-tree.
The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms,
But which will bloom most constantly?

For that mist may break when the sun is high
And this soul forget its sorrow
And the rose ray of the closing day
May promise a brighter morrow.

I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind.

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

I’ll walk where my own nature would be leading:
It vexes me to choose another guide.
