Bronte Sisters 勃朗特三姐妹

Like a false guard, false watch keeping, Still, in strife, she whispered peace; She would sing while I was weeping; If I listened, she would cease.
False she was, and unrelenting; When my last joys strewed the ground, Even Sorrow saw, repenting, Those sad relics scattered round;

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Jane Eyre's character：

Jane Eyre， an orphan child with a fiery spirit and a longing to love and be loved，a poor， plain, little governess who dares to love her master，a man superior to her in many ways， and even is brave enough to declare to the man her love for him，cuts a completely new woman image. In this novel Charlotte characterizes Jane Eyre as a naive， kind-hearted， noble-minded woman who pursues a genuine kind of love.

She was cruel in her fear; Through the bars one dreary day, I looked out to see her there, And she turned her face away!
她因胆怯而如此冷酷。 郁闷的一天，我透过铁栏， 想看到我的希望的面目， 却见她立即背转了脸！
Hope, whose whisper would have given Balm to all my frenzied pain, Stretched her wings, and soared to heaven, Went, and ne'er returned again!
像一个假看守在假意监视， 一面敌对一面又暗示和平； 当我哀泣时她吟唱歌词， 当我静听她却噤口无声。
You think I could stay here to become nothing to you? Do you think because I am poor, obscure and plain that I am soulless and heartless? I have as much soul as you and fully as much heart. And if god had gifted me with wealth and beauty, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me as it is now for me to leave you. 你以为我会留下来，做一个对你来说无足轻重的人吗？你 以为，就因为我穷、低微、丌美，我就没有心，没有灵魂 吗？我也有一颗心，我们的精神是同等的。如果上帝赐于 我美貌不财富的话，我也会让你难以离开我，就象我现在 难以离开你一样

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
Emily's Poem--- Hope 希望
Hope was but a timid friend; 希望只是个羞怯的友伴—— She sat without the grated den, 她坐在我的囚牢之外， Watching how my fate would tend, 以自私者的冷眼旁观 Even as selfish-hearted men. 观察我的命运的好歹。

Personal Life
Their father was a clergyman at Haworth， Yorkshire. When they were young，the Bronte sisters were sent to a school for clergymen's daughters. The oldest two died there due to the poor and unhealthy conditions. This experience inspired the later portrayal of Lowood School in the novel Jane Eyre. After the death of the elder sisters， Charlotte and Emily were brought home to be educated by their father.
For some time， they worked in a boarding school and were subsequently governesses in rich families. Charlotte & her two younger sisters had a great fondness for literature. In May 1846 appeared a volume of poetry entitled Poems by Currer， Ellis and Acton Bell （the pseudonyms(笔名) of Charlotte， Emily and Anne）， but received little attention and only two copies were sold. Then the three sisters turned to novel writing.

Emily Bronte (1818-1848)
Emily Bronte was perhaps the greatest writer of the three Bronte sisters - Charlotte, Emily and Anne. Emily Bronte published only one novel, Wuthering Heights . But that single work has its place among the masterpieces of English literature. Some of her best lyrics are also rated with the best in English poetry.
她心如铁石而且虚假。 当我最后的欢乐落英遍地， 见此悲惨的遗物四处抛撒 就连“哀愁”也遗憾不已； 而希望，她本来能悄悄耳语 为痛苦欲狂者搽膏止痛，—— 却伸展双翼向天堂飞去， 一去不回，从此不见影踪。
Anne Bronte (1820—1849)
Anne Bronte 安妮.勃朗特
Anne was born in 1820. She was a gentle and soft girl, being introvert and quiet, she was regarded less gifted than her two elder sisters. She just lived for 29 years, and during the last ten years of her life, she was busy serving as a governess. Though teaching had taken much of her time, she still wrote two novels, Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, which brought her great fame. She was the only one who was not buried in the church of Haworth.
