‘No coward soul is mine’ pendant necklace | Emily Brontë
This pendant necklace is etched in pale blue glow-in-the-dark pigment with the first words of Emily Brontë poem. It is finished with a bronze vintage star. (If you would prefer sky blue please let me know if gift message space.)
£2 goes to the Brontë Society to support their learning programme.
Emily died at 30, and like all good writing about death, this poem is really about life, and I love the intimate and powerful connection she has not with religion or 'creeds' but with her own, infinite, wondrous 'ever-present Deity'. It is said that Emily Dickinson asked for it to read at her funeral.
No Coward Soul Is Mine
No coward soul is mine,
No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere:
I see Heaven's glories shine,
And faith shines equal, arming me from Fear.
O God within my breast,
Almighty, ever-present Deity!
Life - that in me hast rest,
As I - Undying Life- have power in Thee!
Vain are the thousand creeds
That move men's hearts, unutterably vain;
Worthless as withered weeds
Or idlest froth amid the boundless main,
To waken doubt in one
Holding so fast by Thine infinity;
So surely anchored on
The steadfast rock of immortality.
With wide-embracing love
Thy Spirit animates eternal years,
Pervades and broods above,
Changes, sustains, dissolves, creates and rears
Though Earth and moon were gone,
And suns and universes ceased to be,
And Thou wert left alone,
Every Existence would exist in Thee.
There is not room for Death,
Nor atom that his might could render void:
Thou - Thou art Being and Breath,
And what Thou art may never be destroyed.

About Sarah Day
Wear and Resist was born in early 2017 out of an urge to channel my frustration and growing rage at the political climate into a creative pursuit that would raise money for women's charities. I believe jewellery is about more than just looking pretty. What we wear can empower us and open up conversations. Statement jewellery that actually has something to say!

Let customers speak for us
I absolutely love it! I love wearing it, I feel like an anarchist ! Like I used to!
Thank you Sara. X
Such a cute little badge for my lanyard. As a teacher, I’m little restricted what messages I can have on a badge at school, but hope not hate is a winner. Looking forward to dark evenings so I can see it glow!
Bought the slate colour which is exactly as per picture. Text size is just right, not too large. Daughter loved it.
I bought 2 of these bracelets, one for me and one for my Mum. Life has been a bit rubbish, she always uses this quote. Shes super picky so I did think ‘hmm she probs won’t like it’.
I’d been scouring the internet trying to find something that had this quote on, I had an idea in my head. This was perfect. I love it so much. And what’s even better is my Mum LOVES it. The day after is given it to her she said ‘it glows in the dark’ (I said it was to keep her safe so that’s surely extra points for being cute?!).
We both love it. There are some amazing things on this website and I’ll definitely be back to buy more but these bracelets mean so much. Thank you!
Sarah Was ace, I mis-ordered and she contacted me having spotted that I might have and corrected it before even sending the purchase. Then it was quickly sent and arrived. Super happy and will continue to use Wear and Resist
Not too small or big, light to wear and so very pretty. I got comments from my colleagues immediately.
So many people have said that this is so me. It's fabulous.
I receive compliments every time I wear these and proudly tell folk they are from Wear & Resist. Mix & match is perfect. Just logging in now to buy another set in different colours as three just aren't enough.
Amazing and stylish necklace in some great options.
The legacy of the Suffragette movement is as relevant today as ever. There is still so much work to do and this brooch captures the spirit of the movement and the debt we owe to those who campaigned and to those who continue to work for the rights and welfare of women. The brooch is beautiful, and a real conversation starter. Sarah has outdone herself with this collection and I will wear my brooch with pride x
Arrived really quickly after ordering, beautifully packaged and love the item. It comes everywhere with me!
Amazing product - so many compliments!!!! Have sent the website link to lots of my friends
As soon as I saw these necklaces I knew I had to have them. Yeah, yep,I was having it! I have worn them nearly every day since I got them and everyone who has seen them loves them! I really love the wit and the design of your jewellery!
Love these necklaces - have worn them several times already.
