Charlotte Bronte Quotes

I Gave, At First, Attention Close;
Then Interest Warm Ensued;
From Interest, As Improvement Rose,
Succeeded Gratitude.

'Obedience Was No Effort Soon,
And Labour Was No Pain;
If Tired, A Word, A Glance Alone
Would Give Me Strength Again.

'From Others Of The Studious Band
Ere Long He Singled Me,
But Only By More Close Demand
And Sterner Urgency.

'The Task He From Another Took,
From Me He Did Reject;
He Would No Slight Omission Brook
And Suffer No Defect.

'If My Companions Went Astray,
He Scarce Their Wanderings Blamed.
If I But Faltered In The Way
His Anger Fiercely Flamed.
