'While we are coldly discussing a man's career, sneering at his mistakes, blaming his rashness, and labelling his opinions - "Evangelical and narrow", ot "Latitudinarian and Pantheistic" or "Anglican and supercilious" - that man, in his solitude, is perhaps shedding hot tears because his sacrifice is a hard one, because strength and patience are failing him to speak the difficult word, and do the difficult deed.'
George Eliot, 'Janet's Repentance' in Scenes of Clerical Life, p.312.
