"George Eliot" Highgate Cemetery, Edwin J. Milliken

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

To spheres unclogged by earthy circumstance.

So be it! Not among the tricksy mimes

Who glitter out a glowworm's hour …

He was full of the fact that Ruskin abused him for saying that a crushed daisy blushes red, i.e. that it …

I was …
