Emily Brontë: 203rd Birthday Tribute

 


Happy Birthday To A Perpetual Muse!




Emily Jane Brontë (1818-1848), Victorian artist, poet and author of "Wuthering Heights", one of the best classic novels ever written in the history of literature





"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."

~ Emily Brontë, "To Imagination" ~





David Austin Emily Brontë rose outside Brontë Parsonage Museum, Emily's home. The rose was planted in 2018 for Emily's bicentenary birthday.






As seen in the dining room of Brontë Parsonage Museum, a bonnet the kind of which would have been worn by Brontë sisters.






One of my favourite quotes by Emily, paired with a favourite photo of heather on Haworth Moor that I took back in 2015. It was an amazing year for heather; it has never looked so good since! 






Emily's writing desk as seen in this year's display at Brontë Parsonage Museum.

The kitchen table at Brontë Parsonage Museum containing Emily's German dictionary. She liked to look at it while baking bread (which she was very good at) or preparing food for family meals. 






The piano in Patrick Brontë's room at Brontë Parsonage Museum which was played mostly by Emily.






Another quote by Emily that strongly speaks to me paired with a sunset on Penistone Hill image I took on my recent visit to Haworth.
