Page "Anne Brontë" Paragraph 25
from
Wikipedia
If Anne formed an attachment to Weightman it does not imply that he was attracted to her.
It is possible that Weightman was no more aware of her, her sisters or their friend Ellen Nussey.
Nor does it imply that Anne believed him to be interested in her.
If anything, her poems suggest the opposite – they speak of quietly experienced but intensely felt emotions, hidden from others, without any indication of being requited.
It is possible that an initially mild attraction to Weightman assumed increasing importance to Anne over time, in the absence of other opportunities for love, marriage, and children.
