ane s her most famous work. It is obviously influenced by many events in her life. Jane, the protagonist, is a private governess for the ward of a wealthy man. The theme of dysfunctional and broken families runs deep in the novel, influenced perhaps by Charlotte s loss of her mother at such a young age. Her father s stifling discipline is echoed in the characters of St. John and Brocklehurst. Bronte wrote her novel under a male pseudonym because it was difficult for women writers of her time to become published and to be taken serious ly even when they did. Her sisters likewise published their work under masculine names. Her novel exhibits some interesting criticisms of the repressive social behavior expected of women; it is in many ways a feminist work

Crossing the Bar By alfred Tennyson Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea But such a tide as moving seems asleep Too full for sound and foam When That which drew form out the boundless deep Turns again home

Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark And may there be no sadness of farewell, When l embark For though from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, hope to see my Pilot face to face When have crossed the bar

阳下,闪疏星, 召唤一声清朗! 愿沙渚宁静, 我将出海远航; 潮汐如梦幻, 涛声似止,浪花息 大海深处涌来, 又悄然退却。 暮霭钟鸣 黑夜将笼罩! 愿诀别无悲声, 登舟起锚; 千古洪流,时空无限 滔滔载我至远方 渡沙渚一线, 泰然见领航

Home-Thoughts, From abroad by Browning Oh, to be in England, Now that April's there And whoever wakes in England Sees, some morning, unaware That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf, While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough In England -now!
"Home-Thoughts, From Abroad” by Browning Oh, to be in England, Now that April's there, And whoever wakes in England Sees, some morning, unaware, That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf, While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough In England - now!
And after April, when May follows And the whitethroat builds, and all the swallows-Hark! where my blossomed pear tree in the hedge leans to the field and scatters on the clover blossoms and dewdrops -at the bent spray's edge-That's the wise thrush: he sings each song twice over est you should think he never could recapture The first fine careless rapture And though the fields look rough with hoary dew, All will be gay when noontide wakes anew The buttercups the little children ' s dower
And after April, when May follows, And the whitethroat builds, and all the swallows -Hark! where my blossomed peartree in the hedge Leans to the field and scatters on the clover Blossoms and dewdrops - at the bent spray's edge - That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over, Lest you should think he never could recapture The first fine careless rapture! And though the fields look rough with hoary dew, All will be gay when noontide wakes anew The buttercups, the little children's dower, - Far brighter than this gaudy melon-flower!
