I'm sure I should be myself were I once among the heather on those hills.“ — Emily Brontë „Oh, I'm burning! I wish I were out of doors.

Why am I so changed?“ — Emily Brontë „Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive,Half wishing they were dead to save the shame.The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow;They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats,And flare up bodily, wings and all.
