Anne Brontës grav

Ett snabbt besök i duggregn vid Anne Brontës grav vid St Mary's Church i Scarborough. Utsikten från kyrkan är fantastisk oavsett väder. Anne var yngst av systrarna Brontë och blev bara 29 år. De dikter och böcker hon skrev publicerades först under det maskulina namnet Acton Bell.

Lines Composed In A Wood On A Windy Day

My soul is awakened, my spirit is soaring
And carried aloft on the wings of the breeze;
For above and around me the wild wind is roaring,
Arousing to rapture the earth and the seas.
The long withered grass in the sunshine is glancing,
The bare trees are tossing their branches on high;
The dead leaves, beneath them, are merrily dancing,
The white clouds are scudding across the blue sky.

I wish I could see how the ocean is lashing
The foam of its billows to whirlwinds of spray;
I wish I could see how its proud waves are dashing,
And hear the wild roar of their thunder today!

Acton
