Chapter Fourteen – Farewell (by Anne Bronte)
July 28, 2009 by speckypeck
Farewell to thee! but not farewell
To all my fondest thoughts of thee:
Within my heart they still shall dwell;
And they shall cheer and comfort me.
O, beautiful, and full of grace!
If thou hadst never met mine eye,
I had not dreamed a living face
Could fancied charms so far outvie.
If I may ne’er behold again
That form and face so dear to me,
Nor hear thy voice, still would I fain
Preserve, for aye, their memory.
That voice, the magic of whose tone
Can wake an echo in my breast,
Creating feelings that, alone,
Can make my tranced spirit blest.
That laughing eye, whose sunny beam
My memory would not cherish less; -
And oh, that smile! whose joyous gleam
Nor mortal language can express.
Adieu, but let me cherish, still,
The hope with which I cannot part.
Contempt may wound, and coldness chill,
But still it lingers in my heart.
And who can tell but Heaven, at last,
May answer all my thousand prayers,
And bid the future pay the past
With joy for anguish, smiles for tears?
To be continued…

I enjoy your legacy a lot. I loved this tribute and the use of the poem (one of my favorites BTW). Beautiful screenshots as always. Lovely way to commemorate Jamie.
This is very beautiful. Lovely use of the poem and screenshots.
You take such beautiful screenshots, the poem was very nice and fitted the pictures well.
I really like your literary style and use of poetry to create images. You have a beautiful and refreshingly unique story.
I loved this blog, very beautiful and touchy
This has been a real joy to read. Good job! I look forward to your further exploits with this family. Until then …
Happy Simming!
This is a very creative way to say goodbye to the founder’s spouse. When the founder passes is going to be even sadder.
