Visionary
by Emily Bronte
'Visionary' Summary
The poem "The Visionary" follows the experience of a watcher who witnesses a spiritual event. The poem begins with the watcher describing the beauty of a moonlit landscape, then shifts to focus on a mysterious light appearing in a window, suggesting a connection to a hidden or unseen realm. While Emily Brontë originally wrote the first 12 lines of the poem, her sister Charlotte Brontë added eight lines later, resulting in a more positive ending, where the watcher experiences a transformative spiritual realization. The poem's complexity arises from the merging of Emily's original vision with Charlotte's additions, raising questions about the integrity of the poem's authorship and the possible influence of one sister's interpretation on the other's work.Book Details
