by Mary Ann Evans (1819 - 1880), as George Eliot

Language: English 
After all, the true seeing is within.
If we had a keen vision and feeling of ordinary human life.
It would be like hearing the grass grow
And the squirrel’s heart beat,
And we should die of that roar
Which lies on the other side
Of silence.
