“In secret pleasure — secret tears
This changeful life has slipped away”
Emily Brontë book Wuthering Heights
I Am the Only Being (1836)
Source: Wuthering Heights
Context: I am the only being whose doom
No tongue would ask no eye would mourn
I never caused a thought of gloom
A smile of joy since I was born
In secret pleasure — secret tears
This changeful life has slipped away
As friendless after eighteen years
As lone as on my natal day
“Life was so short; so many beautiful things slipped away.”
Kate DiCamillo The Magician's Elephant
