Happy birthday to Emily Brontë (30 July, 1818 – 19 December, 1848)!



“Heaven did not seem to be my home; and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to earth; and the angels were so angry that they flung me out into the middle of the heath on the top of Wuthering Heights; where I woke sobbing for joy.”
- Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights (1847)

I love that book. It's so sad, but I suppose that's most of its charm.

You're so right. I love it, too!

What a quote to pull from such a sad story! Thank you so much for wishing me a happy early birthday. You are so incredibly kind and very sweet.

Emily Bronte writes a very nice tragedy without being overdone.

Every time I see that she only made it to 30 it makes me sad. I wonder what she'd think if she knew that we're still reading it today.

Thanks for the shout-out :D

I know exactly what you mean! I like to think of her reaction to knowing of the lasting impact she made.

Thanks for the shout-out :D

My pleasure! :)

What are the odds that Kate Bush song would accompany this post? Talk about synchronicity! Have you heard she's playing 22 live dates in London soon after 35 years of no touring?

Ah, that was me, helping the odds along a little... ;)

I'm so, so excited that she's touring again!!! *flails*

Thanks for the Birthday wishes! August 20th is H.P. Lovecraft's B-day as well; perhaps that's why I write Horror! :D

Yay! You're in excellent company (and so is HPL). :D Happy birthday!
