Emily Brontë by Ted Hughes

Ted HughesAbout
In this poem Ted Hughes intertwines Emily Brontë with the setting of the moors that she loved. Her sister, Charlotte, wrote:

Emily Brontë Annotated
The wind on Crow Hill was her darling.
His fierce, high tide in her ear was her secret.

And lay on her love-sick bed.
The curlew trod her womb.
The stone swelled under her heart.
Her death is a baby-cry on the moor.
