What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life–to strengthen each other in all labour, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?

i love you george eliot. you were so intelligent and fascinating and your novels breathed with all the depths of human emotion and i feel that you as one person understood what it was like to live, as a child, as an adult, as a human who was just trying their best.

Pray ask yourself if you were ever predisposed to believe evil of any pretty woman—if you ever could, without hard head-breaking demonstration, believe evil of the one supremely pretty woman who has bewitched you. No: people who love downy peaches are apt not to think of the stone, and sometimes jar their teeth terribly against it.
-- Adam Bede by George Eliot

In Adam Bede George Eliot’s titular character, a carpenter, is described as wearing a paper hat.
Here’s a short article that explains their use.

Reading Adam Bede and, as with Middlemarch, trying to decide if I want to finish. I love slow-as-molasses books, but George Elliot's are slow, even for me. There have been a couple of perfect metaphors/similes/descriptions that have kept me going, so I guess I'll keep at it.

Deep, unspeakable suffering may well be called a baptism, a regeneration, the initiation into a new state.
