A Digital Doodle Inspired by ‘Essence of Emily Bronte’.

‘Not room for Death’ is a digital doodle by moi – inspired by a chink of LIGHT (above) – and Emily’s eternal poem – ‘No Coward Soul is Mine’. Emily’s Hexagonal ‘Moon-shaped’ face is borrowed with kind permission from a portrait by her sister, Charlotte Brontë. 

No coward soul is mine,
No trembler in the world’s storm-troubled sphere:
I see Heaven’s glories shine,
And faith shines equal, arming me from Fear.

O God within my breast,
Almighty, ever-present Deity!
Life – that in me hast rest,
As I – Undying Life- have power in Thee!

Vain are the thousand creeds
That move men’s hearts, unutterably vain;
Worthless as withered weeds
Or idlest froth amid the boundless main,

To waken doubt in one
Holding so fast by Thine infinity;
So surely anchored on
The steadfast rock of immortality.

The ‘scattered’ version.

Starting from the centre out…

The ‘blue’ version of the ‘Bonnet Portrait’ of Emily Bronte by her sister, Charlotte Bronte.

Sir Thomas Lawrence’s influence in Charlotte Brontë’s ‘blue’ version of the ‘Bonnet Portrait’ has been pared back leaving Emily’s intense gaze only. The words from the last verse – rotate Emily’s centre of gravity; it’s Hexagon-shaped – because the Hexagon is omnipresent in Nature and also because a little, slightly irregular-shaped Hexagon revealed itself in the middle of a photograph I took of some beautiful, Spring Daffodils on the 1st March 2019…

‘Chink of Light’ – it’s how Emily comes…

And because of my digital doodling – more hidden numbers have revealed themselves on the ‘Blue’ version of the ‘Bonnet Portrait’ – just under the right eye…

‘3’ and ‘8’ are clear – there are numbers a little further down the side of the nose too…

Limitless possibilities! ‘Numbers’ version.

Enough doodling! I’m off out to immerse myself in our wondrous ‘hexagon-shaped’ world again – for a long walk. Gosh! I do love it when it’s blowing a hooley!
