But this I know; the writer who possesses the creative gift owns something of which he is not always master--something that at times strangely wills and works for itself. He may lay down rules and devise principles, and to rules and principles it will perhaps for years lie in subjection; and then, haply without any warning of revolt, there comes a time when it will no longer consent. ✨ Emily Bronte, Anne Brontë, Charlotte Brontë (1851). Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey: In Two Volumes, p.19
