Naturalists Unknown: Lives marked by discovery and erasure
- TRiG_Ireland 3y agoAs George Elliot wrote in Middlemarch, > The effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs. I find that thought rather comforting, in a way.
