George Eliot wrote the most beautiful opening sentence I have read in any novel in English-"With a single drop of ink for a mirror, the Egyptian sorcerer undertakes to reveal to any chance comer far-reaching visions of the past."The opening lines in Chapter 1 of "Adam Bede".
I couldn't agree more. What beautifully bound books.Dixxxx
I agree, as well! They take us through our darkest days and ask so little of us. Hugs! Bonnie
I second that sentiment.
