Night (by Anne Bronte) The Bronte sisters had a very agonizing life, which is beautifully portrayed through their poetry. One of the main reasons why their poetry is so effective is because they were genuinely heartfelt when they were written. The Bronte's had a wonderful gift of turning their most indescribable emotions into magnificent poetry. Anne was one of the younger of the sisters who struggled through losing her older brother and sisters beginning from when she was a very young girl.
The Bronte children did not have any friends to socialize with, they only had each other. Therefore, I am sure that each time one of them died, it haunted and pained the surviving siblings beyond explanation. One of Annes poems, Night describes how she looks forward to the night, because at this time her pain is lessened. When all is quiet, your mind tends to drift off and dream about your deepest yearnings and seeks to soothe your deepest woes. In Annes case her deepest woe was losing her beloved siblings.
At night, or in her dreams, she hears a voice that death ha[d] silenced long ago (Barker 94). This voice (which I assume is of one of her sisters) takes away the pain of loss for a moment and gives her joy because it is comforting to feel their presence beside her. She is conscious of the fact that the only time that she can experience this is while she is asleep. For this reason it is a consolation to her that when the night falls, it means that the darling of [her] heart [will be returned] to [her] (Barker 94) even if it is just for a moment.
