“I have to remind myself to breathe -- almost to remind my heart to beat!” ― Emily Brontë

film scene from "Wuthering Heights" version (2011)

Born in Thornton, Yorkshire, England, on July 30, 1818, Emily Jane Brontë lived a quiet life in Yorkshire with her clergyman father; brother, Branwell Brontë; and two sisters, Charlotte and Anne. The sisters enjoyed writing poetry and novels, which they published under pseudonyms. As "Ellis Bell," Emily wrote Wuthering Heights (1847)—her only published novel—which garnered wide critical and commercial acclaim. Emily Brontë died in Haworth, Yorkshire, England, on December 19, 1848—the same year that her brother, Branwell, passed away.

The Night - Wind - Poem by Emily Jane Brontë

In summer's mellow midnight,

A cloudless moon shone through

Our open parlour window,

And rose-trees wet with dew. 

I sat in silent musing;

The soft wind waved my hair;

It told me heaven was glorious,

And sleeping earth was fair. 

I needed not its breathing

To bring such thoughts to me;

But still it whispered lowly,

'How dark the woods would be! 

'The thick leaves in my murmur

Are rustling like a dream,

And all their myriad voices

Instinct with spirit seem.' 

I said, 'Go, gentle singer,

Thy wooing voice is kind:

But do not think its music

Has power to reach my mind. 

'Play with the scented flower,

The young tree's supply bough,

And leave my human feelings

In their own course to flow.' 

The wanderer would not heed me:

Its kiss grew warmer still:

'Oh Come!' it sighed so sweetly;

'I'll win thee 'gainst thy will. 

'Were we not friends from childhood?

Have I not loved thee long?

As long as thou, the solemn night,

Whose silence wakes my song. 

'And when thy heart is resting

Beneath the church-aisle stone,

I shall have time for mourning,

And thou for being alone.'
