Episode 021 - Spellbound by Emily Bronte

Spellbound by Emily Bronte

The night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And I cannot, cannot go.

The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow.
And the storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go.

Clouds beyond clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing drear can move me;
I will not, cannot go.

That was Spellbound by Emily Bronte. Best known for her novel, Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte was the third of the four Bronte siblings who survived into adulthood. Born in 1818, she died when she was just 30 years old of tuberculosis.
