ABSTRACT

The following lines, all fair copies, are found in the Yale Poetry Notebook, ff. 7 and 22 (reverse side). Paris first published them in 'George Eliot's Unpublished Poetry', p. 544, except for the lines beginning 'Deeds are the pulse of Time', which Eliot used as the epigraph to Chapter LVII of Daniel Deronda (see Appendix A, Epigraphs, Daniel Deronda, above, p. 161, for Textual Variants).
