    Emily Brontë
    “I’ll walk, but not in old heroic traces,
    And not in paths of high morality,
    And not among the half-distinguished faces,
    The clouded forms of long-past history.

    I’ll walk where my own nature would be leading:
    It vexes me to choose another guide:
    Where the grey flocks in ferny glens are feeding;
    Where the wild wind blows on the mountain side.”
    ― Emily Brontë, Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell
