"The Lifted Veil stood out in the context of the parallels between George Eliot and me. I could better describe Eliot's 'double consciousness,' as mentioned in her 1860 travel journal, by describing my own similar experiences. When I was a child, I would stand and look at something beautiful for a prolonged period of time hoping to extract every detail for memory's sake: a crimson sunset, a patch of moss fetched-up in what appeared to be a fairy circle, or an acorn with its cap gone missing. I had always been good at imagery in poetry, perhaps because I was able to remember and weave together the details of things I'd seen years before as though looking at them for the first time while penning the words-just like Eliot. ~ KARMA ROAD: Walking through Time with George Eliot
