"The tyrant grinds down his slaves and they don't turn against him, they crush those beneath them."
--Heathcliff from WUTHERING HEIGHTS (1847)

Emily Jane Brontë died in Haworth, West Riding of Yorkshire, England on this day in 1848 (aged 30).
"I Am The Only Being Whose Doom" by Emily Brontë
I am the only being whose doom
No tongue would ask no eye would mourn
I never caused a thought of gloom
A smile of joy since I was born
In secret pleasure - secret tears
This changeful life has slipped away
As friendless after eighteen years
As lone as on my natal day
There have been times I cannot hide
There have been times when this was drear
When my sad soul forgot its pride
And longed for one to love me here
But those were in the early glow
Of feelings since subdued by care
And they have died so long ago
I hardly now believe they were
First melted off the hope of youth
Then Fancy's rainbow fast withdrew
And then experience told me truth
In mortal bosoms never grew
'Twas grief enough to think mankind
All hollow servile insincere -
But worse to trust to my own mind
And find the same corruption there
