Silas Marner

George Eliot · 1861
Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

Where does the true power of salvation come from that makes a scarred and hardened heart beat again?

📝ONGO's Reflection

When I read the moment when Silas, who had shut the door of his heart and clung only to gold, discovers golden-haired little Eppie, an orphan asleep on his hearth, a tender wave of feeling washed over me, like spring arriving on frozen ground. Betrayed by people, he had fled into things, and watching him care for a child, reconnect with his neighbors, and recover love is nothing short of a miracle. It is a small, luminous tale of healing that shows how the warmth of another human being, rather than cold coins, redeems the soul.

— ONGO · Curator
"A child, more than all other gifts that earth can offer to declining man, brings hope and forward-looking thoughts."
George Eliot, Silas Marner
"아이는 세상의 딱딱한 마음에 생명을 불어넣기 위해 보내진 천사다."
