George Eliot: Some Sayings from Her Novels
Title
George Eliot: Some Sayings from Her Novels
Description
- When the commonplace 'We must all die' transforms itself suddenly into the acute consciousness, 'I must die--and soon,' then death grapples us, and his fingers are cruel; afterwards, he may come to fold us in his arms as our mother did, and our last moment of dim earthly discerning may be like the first.
