The textile artist Celia Birtwell conjures up the wind and the weather of Emily Brontë's masterpiece, Wuthering Heights, in a cover designed for White's Books. We take a look at how recent editions have summoned up the spirit of Cathy.

在為White's Books設計的封面中，織畫藝術家西莉婭·波特維爾(Celia Birtwell) 魔法般地再現了艾米莉·勃朗特(Emily Brontë's)名著《呼嘯山莊》(Wuthering Heights)狂風暴雨的天氣。看新近版本的名著怎樣用封面召喚女主人公凱茜的靈魂。

'One may guess the power of the north wind blowing over the edge by the excessive slant of a few stunted firs at the end of the house, and by a range of gaunt thorns all stretching their limbs one way, as if craving alms of the sun. Happily the architect had foresight to build it strong. The narrow windows are deeply set in the wall, and the corners defended with large jutting stones.'

“只要看一看宅子盡頭那幾顆生長不良、過度傾斜的樅樹，還有那一排瘦削的、全把枝條伸向一個方向，就像在向太陽乞求布施的荊棘，你就能捉摸出從旁刮過的北風該有多大威力了。多虧當年的建筑師有先見之明，把這幢宅子蓋得非常結實，狹窄的窗子深深嵌在墻里，墻角都砌有凸出的大石塊保護著。”
