A Poem that's been on my mind since i woke up this morning. Reasons I know not but its a lovely poem that I've recited to myself over and over when happy & when I feel the need to be happy :)

Riches I hold in light esteem

Riches I hold in light esteem
And Love I laugh to scorn
And lust of Fame was but a dream
That vanished with the morn–

And if I pray, the only prayer
That moves my lips for me
Is–"Leave the heart that now I bear
And give me liberty."

Yes, as my swift days near their goal
'Tis all that I implore
Through life and death, a chainless soul
With courage to endure!

Emily Bronte (1st March 1841)


P.S: Wuthering Heights - One of my all time favourites!
