The last work of the jazz formation Lucien Dubuis Trio, Le Retour contains a Brontë connection according to this review published on M-La-Music:
Posé au beau milieu de l’album, track 9, "Princesse de l’Europe" invite la chanteuse Dania Rodari à venir scander un texte d’Emily Brontë, et l’on songe à cette faço si particulère qu’a Neneh Cherry d’invectiver par ses lyrics tout en gardant le sens du rythme que le a si bien transmis son papa Don. (Jean-Marc Grosdemouge)
Regrettably, we don't know which is the Emily Brontë's poem (or excerpt from Wuthering Heights) it is that Dania Rodari sings in Princesse de l'Europe.

EDIT: Jean Biollay (Lucien Dubuis Trio management) has written to us with the following information:
The two following two texts have been used for the song:

"I'm happiest when most away" (1838)
and in the impro part: "Wind, sink to rest in the heather".
