“To us also, through every star, through every blade of grass, is not God made visible if we will open our minds and our eyes.”

Scottish historian and essayist of the 19th century, Carlyle is best known for his vivid historical writings, particularly *The French Revolution* and *On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History*. His sharp, moralistic prose and deep engagement with human character also define his enduring influence on literature and thought.
