  "I am glad as a child, in this beautiful weather; I have tossed all my burdens and trials away; My heart is as light - yes, as light as a feather;- I am care-free, and careless, and happy to-day. Can it be there approaches a dark, dreary to-morrow? Can shadows e'er fall on this beautiful earth? Ah! To-day is my own! No forebodings of sorrow Shall darken my skies, or shall dampen my mirth." - Ella Wheeler Wilcox, from "Summer Song" - Me and my Swedish Brontë friend Malin at Ponden Kirk, Penistone Crag in Emily Brontë's novel "Wuthering Heights".

  "The year's at the spring, And day's at the morn; Morning's at seven; the hill-side's dew-pearl'd; The lark's on the wing; The snail's on the thorn; God's in His heaven -  All's right with the world!" - Robert Browning - May 2024   Facebook Reel   Bridlington Harbour 

  "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.
