Description
Excerpt from George Eliot and Thomas Hardy: A Contrast
Ardent souls, ready to construct their coming lives, are apt to commit themselves to the fulfilment of their own visions," wrote George Eliot in Middlemarch. This anxiety to realize an ideal is one of the greatest motive forces in the world; wisely directed, it makes possible great reforms and lasting achievements, but without a rational foundation it degenerates into an aimless unrest which is doomed to futility.
