7 Emily Bronte Quotes on Spirituality

Emily Bronte quotes on spirituality

7. But first a hush of peace, a soundless calm descends; The struggle of distress and fierce impatience ends Mute music sooths my breast - unuttered harmony That I could never dream till earth was lost to me.

8. Then dawns the Invisible; the Unseen its truth reveals; My outward sense is gone, my inward essence feels - Its wings are almost free, its home, its harbour found; Measuring the gulf, it stoops and dares the final bound -

9. O, dreadful is the check - intense the agony When the ear begins to hear and the eye begins to see; When the pulse begins to throb, the brain to think again, The soul to feel the flesh and the flesh to feel the chain. Yet I would lose no sting, would wish no torture less; The more that anguish racks the earlier it will bless; And robed in fires of Hell, or bright with heavenly shine If it but herald Death, the vision is divine -

29. No coward soul is mine, No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere: I see Heaven's glories shine, And Faith shines equal, arming me from Fear.

30. O God within my breast, Almighty, ever-present Deity! Life - that in me has rest, As I - undying Life - have power in Thee!

33. Though earth and moon were gone, And suns and universes ceased to be, And Thou wert left alone, Every existence would exist in Thee.

34. There is not room for Death, Nor atom that his might could render void: Thou - Thou art Being and Breath, And what Thou art may never be destroyed.
