‘Before illness completely got the better of me, my life was a sickly hallucination from start to finish. I was conscious, but, as in a bad dream, everything passed before my eyes too quickly.’

‘A young girl would go into the wood as trustingly as Red Riding Hood to her granny’s house but this light admits of no ambiguities and, here, she will be trapped in her own illusion because everything in the wood is exactly as it seems.
The woods enclose and then enclose again, -‘

She Borrows A Revolver (1995)

The Heart asks Pleasure — first
And then — Excuse from Pain —
And then — those little Anodynes
That deaden suffering —
And then — to go to sleep —
And then — if it should be
The will of its Inquisitor
The privilege to die —
Emily Dickinson
1890

“Lucy has not walked much in her sleep the last week, but there is an odd concentration about her which I do not understand, even in her sleep she seems to be watching me. She tries the door, and finding it locked, goes about the room searching for the key.”

Mr Glowry’s Summerhouse (2009)

This house has been far out at sea all night,
The woods crashing through darkness, the booming hills,
Winds stampeding the fields under the window
Floundering black astride and blinding wet
‘Wind’

When we come to that dark house,
Never sound of wave shall rouse

Of those who sleep in that deep wood.

“The story of my life doesn’t exist. Does not exist. There’s never any centre to it. No path, no line. There are great spaces where you pretend there used to be someone, but it’s not true, there was no one.”

“And then he told her. Told her that it was as before, that he still loved her, he could never stop loving her, that he’d love her until death.”

See Emily Play (2002)
john luke chapman

The graveyard of St. Michael and All Angels Church lies adjoining the Haworth Parsonage where a stifled Emily brooded as a child. It cramped and coerced her imagination as she grew but it would always remain her own private playground, her bone orchard, and, all too greedily, her bed.
