"Yet the twin habit of that early time

Lingered for long about the heart and tongue;

We had been natives of one happy clime,

And its dear accent to our utterance clung.

"Till the dire years whose awful name is Change

Had grasped our souls, still yearning in divorce,

And pitiless shaped them in two forms that range—

Two elements which sever their life's course."

George Eliot.
