Charlotte Bronte Quotes
... The Matter Was New To Me, And I Had No Material For Its Treatment. But I Got Books, Read Up The Facts, Laboriously Constructed A Skeleton Out Of The Dry Bones Of The Real, And Then Clothed Them, And Tried To Breathe Into Them Life, And In This Last Aim I Had Pleasure. With Me It Was A Difficult And Anxious Time Till My Facts Were Found, Selected, And Properly Pointed; Nor Could I Rest From Research And Effort Till I Was Satisfied Of Correct Anatomy; The Strength Of My Inward Repugnance To The Idea Of Flaw Or Falsity Sometimes Enabled Me To Shun Egregious Blunders; But The Knowledge Was Not There In My Head, Ready And Mellow; It Had Not Been Down In Spring, Grown In Summer, Harvested In Autumn, And Garnered Through Winter; Whatever I Wanted I Must Go Out And Gather Fresh; Glean Of Wild Herbs My Lap Full, And Shred Them Green Into The Pot.
