Literary Lyric (Beyond This Life)

[ZeppelinDT]

So I've been reading through George Eliot's "Middlemarch" during the last few weeks and came across these lines today.  I guess JP has a taste for classic literature...

ZeppelinDT comes from beyond this life.

Lol, I still lurk here now and then...

Wow!

I'm honestly surprised it's not acknowledged more than it is. I found that exact quote on a park bench in my home city, some years after hearing Beyond This Life. I was blown away.

Wow, that's pretty cool.  I mean I know this is a "classic" novel, but it's so monstrous and this is just two lines buried in a 900 page book, and I feel like it's one of those classics that isn't read too often just because of how daunting it is.  I certainly never knew about this quote myself until I read it in the book yesterday.

Huh, wow - I actually read this book around the same time when I was on a little "classics" binge during the early days of COVID. Finding that little quote in there was awesome!

Side note: this ended up being one of the best books I have ever read. I read it as an e-book on my phone, and every few chapters I found myself highlighting another quote that I didn't want to forget. If anyone is looking for something new to read and has time to sink their teeth into a 900 page 19th century novel, I think you will find the experience very rewarding.
