Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life Charlotte Bronte, Author of Jane Eyre, Shirley, Villette, Vol. 2 of 2 During this summer of 1846, while her literary hopes were waning, an anxiety of another kind was increasing. Her father´s eyesight had become seriously impaired by the progress of the cataract which was forming. He was nearly blind. He could grope his way about, and recognise the figure of those he knew well, when they we placed against a strong light; but he could no longer see to read; and thus his eager appetite for knowledge and information of all kinds was severely balked. He continued to preach. I have heard that he was led up into the pulpit, and that his sermons were never so effective as when he stood there, a grey sightless old man, his blind eyes looking out straight before him, while the words that came from his lips had all the vigour and force of his best days.
