“Nature repairs her ravages, — repairs them with her sunshine, and with human labor.”
The Mill on the Floss (1860)
Context: Nature repairs her ravages, — repairs them with her sunshine, and with human labor. The desolation wrought by that flood had left little visible trace on the face of the earth, five years after. The fifth autumn was rich in golden cornstacks, rising in thick clusters among the distant hedgerows; the wharves and warehouses on the Floss were busy again, with echoes of eager voices, with hopeful lading and unlading.
And every man and woman mentioned in this history was still living, except those whose end we know.
L'École des cadavres (School for Corpses), Denoël 1942, p. 6
