George Eliot quote

“...If we had a keen vision of all that is ordinary in human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel’s heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence.” George Eliot

I am asking for the original source of this quote.

Today it came from an email from Stephen Vincent, USA poet and blogger, whose secondary source was "Prof. Charles Liu in his honors class at CUNY as reported in a story in today's NY Times".

Stephen was suggesting John Cage - and like minds - would have loved this quote. I do, I do. Do you?
