About George Eliot
In old days there were angels who came and took men by the hand and led them away from the city of destruction. We see no white-winged angels now. But yet men are led away from threatening destruction: a hand is put into theirs, which leads them forth gently towards a calm and bright land, so that they look no more backward; and the hand may be a little child’s.
Gold!—his own gold—brought back to him as mysteriously as it had been taken away!
I can’t feel as I’ve got any father but one
there’s debts we can’t pay like money debts, by paying extra for the years that have slipped by.
O father, what a pretty home ours is! I think nobody could be happier than we are.
