Dear BrontëBlog readers,
One more year, we would like to send our warmest Christmas wishes. May Christmas be whatever you wish it to be. Brontëites do tend to always find a little Brontë something under the tree, but if that is not the case this year, you can always take your favourite Brontë book from the sheld and give yourself a Christmas present.
As 2018 has marked the bicentenary of Emily Brontë's birth, we would like to quote from one of her poems (
A Little While, A Little While). With our very best wishes,
There is a spot, ‘mid barren hills,
Where winter howls, and driving rain;
But, if the dreary tempest chills,
There is a light that warms again.
The house is old, the trees are bare,
Moonless above bends twilight’s dome;
But what on earth is half so dear–
So longed for–as the hearth of home?
