Also true of Emily Bronte

Martin Amis discussing Christopher Hitchens in the forward to a new book, says the author often “speaks like a genius” but “thinks like a child (that is to say, his judgments are far more instinctive and moral-visceral than they seem, and are animated by a child’s eager apprehension of what feels just and true)”.

I don't know enough about Hitchens to say but that describes Emily Bronte perfectly.
