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" ~

| 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! |
