🪶#EmilyBrontë (1818-1848)

No ha dejado de editarse, ni de ganar incondicionales desde época victoriana.
Poco más se puede decir.

In 1820, Frances Currer—"head of all female book collectors in Europe"— published a catalogue of her collection. She was also a philanthropist—Charlotte Brontë's pseudonym 'Currer Bell' might be a homage to the financial help Currer gave the Brontë family. https://t.co/qMQDnzA7oW

Friendship like the holly-tree;
The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms
But which will bloom most constantly?"
