"a valentine"
by edgar allan poe

1. for her this rhyme is penned whose luminous eyes,
2. brightly expressive as the twins of leda,
3. shall find her own sweet name, that nestling lies
4. upon the page, enwrapped from every reader.
5. search narrowly the lines! -they hold a treasure
6. divine-a talisman-an amulet
7. that must be worn at heart. search well the measure-
8. the words-the syllables! do not forget
9. the trivialest point, or you may lose your labor
10. and yet there is in this no gordian knot
11. which one might not undo without a sabre,
12. if one could merely comprehend the plot.
13. enwritten upon the leaf where now are peering
14. eyes scintillating soul, there lie perdus
15.three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing
16. of poets, by poets-as the name is a poet's, too,
17. its letters, although naturally lying
18. like the knight pinto-mendez ferdinando-
19. still form a synonym for truth-cease trying!
20. you will not read the riddle, though you do the best you can do.

english novelist and poet, the eldest of the three brontë sisters who survived into adulthood and whose novels became classics of english literature.

she enlisted in school at roe head in january 1831, aged 14 years. she left the year after to teach her sisters, emily and anne, at home, returning in 1835 as a governess. in 1839 she undertook the role as governess for the sidgwick family, but left after a few months to return to haworth where the sisters opened a school, but failed to attract pupils. instead they turned to writing and they each first published in 1846 under the pseudonyms of currer, ellis and acton bell. her first novel the professor was rejected by publishers, her second novel jane eyre was published in 1847. the sisters admitted to their bell pseudonyms in 1848, and by the following year were celebrated in london literary circles.

brontë experienced the early deaths of all her siblings. she became pregnant shortly after her marriage in june 1854 but died on 31 march 1855, almost certainly from hyperemesis gravidarum, a complication of pregnancy which causes excessive nausea and vomiting.
