  "When winter winds are piercing chill, And through the hawthorn blows the gale,  With solemn feet I tread the hill, That overbrows the lonely vale. O'er the bare upland, and away  Through the long reach of desert woods, The embracing sunbeams chastely play, And gladden these deep solitudes." -"Woods in Winter", Henry Wadsworth Longfellow- Haworth - Brontë Country Charlotte Brontë's christening bonnet. It is on display at the Brontë Parsonage Museum for the first time as part of this year's exhibition entitled "The Brontës Web of Childhood". Yorkshire Sculpture Park

  "It was Christmas week: we took to no settled employment, but spent it in a sort of merry domestic dissipation.
