“I was reflecting on the ways in which even movements of liberation can be shaped by the very thought forms they seek to challenge.”
Mathilde Blind, George Eliot

“A severe cold taken by Lewes proved the forerunner of a serious disorder, and, after a short illness, this bright, many-sided, indefatigable thinker, passed away in his sixty-second year.”
Mathilde Blind, George Eliot

“Before midnight of the 22nd of December, 1880, George Eliot, who died at precisely the same age as Lewes, had passed quietly and painlessly away; and on Christmas Eve the announcement of her death was received with general grief. She was buried by the side of George Henry Lewes in the cemetary at Highgate.”
Mathilde Blind, George Eliot
