Full description

This hand embroidered piece features the poem 'Emily Bronte' by Ted Hughes in intricate hand stitched lettering in the poet's own handwriting. The poem is stitched in navy thread onto a white vintage handkerchief to create a truly unique piece. A perfect gift for a lover of the work of Ted Hughes, the Brontës or a poet.

The artwork is mounted in a white 'floating' style wooden frame behind glass to showcase and protect the piece. This piece measures 32 x 32cm including the frame.

'Emily Brontë' by Ted Hughes

The wind on Crow Hill was her darling.

His fierce, high tide in her ear was her secret.

But his kiss was fatal.

Through her dark Paradise ran

The stream she loved too well

That bit her breast.

The shaggy sodden king of that kingdom

Followed through the wall

And lay on her love-sick bed.

The curlew trod her womb.

The stone swelled under her heart.

Her death is a baby-cry on the moor.

Designed by Rowan Bridgwood in West Yorkshire
