Emily Brontë (1818-1848)

Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848), one of the Brontë sisters, was an English novelist and poet who is most famous for her only novel, Wuthering Heights. She wrote under the pen name Ellis Bell.


@ Vain are the thousand creeds
That move men's hearts: unutterably vain;
Worthless as withered weeds,
Or idle froth amid the boundless main,
To waken doubt in one
Holding so fast by Thine infinity;
So surely anchored on
The stedfast rock of immortality. [No Coward Soul Is Mine (1848)]
