George Eliot: Our instructed vagrancy,...

Vendor: NOVELISTS

Our instructed vagrancy, which has hardly time to linger by the hedgerows, but runs away early to the tropics, and is at home with palms and banyans -- which is nourished on books of travel, and stretches the theatre of its imagination to the Zambesi.

Source: The Mill on the Floss, bk. 3, ch. 9, 1860.
-- George Eliot, (Nov 22 1819-1880), English novelist; Mary Ann Evans was the foremost woman novelist of her time, e.g., Silas Marner, 1861.
