In January 1849, Anne Brontë received the devastating news that she had consumption, also known as tuberculosis, and it was very serious and that she might not live much longer. She decided to come to Scarborough, not in the hope of a cure, but in the hope that at least the sea air would give her more strength and buy her more time.
Whilst suffering from tuberculosis, Anne wrote her final poem about her illness and the strong possibility that she would die.
Anne isn't so well known for her poetry but I think her final poem is incredible, and a rare example of someone writing about confronting their own death and coming to terms with it.
