“Jubal had a frame
Fashioned to finer senses, which became
A yearning for some hidden soul of things”
George Eliot
(1819–1880) English novelist, journalist and translator
The Legend of Jubal (1869)
Context: Jubal had a frame
Fashioned to finer senses, which became
A yearning for some hidden soul of things,
Some outward touch complete on inner springs
That vaguely moving bred a lonely pain,
A want that did but stronger grow with gain
Of all good else, as spirits might be sad
For lack of speech to tell us they are glad.
