I realise that I'm four years late here, but I still feel compelled to leave a comment. I thought that was beautiful. You've tied up all those things that make Charlotte such a great author, such an empowered woman and a delight to read. I fell in love with her characters, and much like you said, they earned that respect- something you don't see very often, and no so well done as Charlotte.
Thank you for showing the appreciation for her and her literature which I couldn't find the words to fit
When I saw the title, I thought it was going to be a tribute to another YTer, and made up my mind that I was going to post my "old" tribute to you as a video response. Well, you fooled me again (you fooler, you), but I'm going to submit it anyway, and leave it up to you as to whether or not to approve it. Just don't fool me, again (to paraphrase my CIC).
Haha, well I currently have my responses set to be approved automatically, but I would have anyway. :-) It's nice to hear from you. You've been silent lately.
Cool, thanks. Sorry, Grad School is kicking my butt...royally. When I was your age, I used to take 24 credit hours, do an opera, 2 dance concerts, sing in 5 choirs and work full-time 3rd shift because it was the only time I had free to schedule a job. So, I thought 2 classes/9 credit hours would be manageable, with only one FT & 1 PT job, and no extracurriculars. WRONG!!! Apparently, I used up all of my brain powers in undergrad school. So, not handling things = not much YTing. 8...o(, M.
Good morning poetess, before I rush off to the gym I've just got time for a quick reply.
It's a great start to my day to see you posting. It inspires me just to know you are out there working at your art. Never trade in your rings of gold for chains of brass.
Last night I did my first reading to an audience at the Poetry Café in Covent Garden. It went well, I learned a lot, but my poetry needs to become much stronger and far more edgy.

Jane, Shirley, Lucy, and of course Charlotte herself are sweetly celebrated. A thoroughly enjoyable tribute. LivingPassion at her best!
