Some of the reactions on the social media about 19-12-1848, the date Emily Bronte died.

Nick Holland:
On 19^th December 1848, Emily Brontë, in my opinion the author of the greatest novel ever written, died aged just thirty of tuberculosis. Emily can be a hard woman to pin down, incredibly shy and yet capable of incredibly powerful writing. A woman who shunned romance in real life, and whose most powerful love in life was for her sister Anne Brontë, and yet whose novel and poems are filled with romance. Read all: annebronte

December 19: in 1848, Emily Jane Brontë died in Haworth, aged 30. Her funeral card mistakenly stated she was 29.

The Brontë Society

A poem to mark the anniversary of Emily's death:

It was night and on the mountains
Fathoms deep the snow drifts lay
Streams and waterfalls and fountains...
Down in darkness stole away

Long ago the hopeless peasant
Left his sheep all buried there
Sheep that through the summer pleasant
He had watched with fondest care
Now no more a cheerful ranger
Following pathways known of yore
Sad he stood a wildered stranger
On his own unbounded moor

That chainless soul, #EmilyBronte, died on this day 1848 age 30: “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 -
In life and death, a chainless soul,
With courage to endure.”
― Emily Brontë
