Quote by George Eliot

Eros has degenerated; he began by introducing order and harmony, and now he brings back chaos.

Eros has degenerated; he began by introducing order and harm

Summary

This quote suggests that Eros, which represents love and desire, has undergone a negative transformation. Initially, Eros is depicted as bringing order and harmony into one's life. However, over time, it has regressed and now causes chaos instead. This could imply that love and desire, once beneficial forces, have become disruptive and unpredictable, leading to disorder rather than happiness and stability.
