'^I never before," said George Eliot in the days when her character was forming itself (1839), '^met with so many of my own feelings expressed just as I should like them," and her reverence for Wordsworth remained to the end.
J. S. Mill has described how important an event in his life was his first reading of AVords worth. '' What made his poems a medicine for my state of mind was that... they expressed not mere outward beauty, but states of feeling and of thought coloured by feeling, under the excitement of beaut}^ I needed to be made to feel that there was real permanent happiness in tranquil contemplation.
