The lyricism of the evening was in the cellar at present, and was not to be drawn from that retreat just yet.

Adam Bede by Eliot, George View in context

His first impulse was an unselfish love for his fellow-men, with an aggressive eagerness for martyrdom in their behalf; his nature was unusually, even abnormally, fine and sensitive; and his poetic quality was a delicate and ethereal lyricism unsurpassed in the literature of the world.
