But this time everyone's agog. That the difference. And as we're all equally in the dark we can't cluster and group: we are beginning to feel the herd impulse: everyone asks everyone Any news? What d'you think? The only answer is

Wait and see.

If it were real, one could make something of it. But as it is it merely grumbles, in an inarticulate way, behind reality. We may hear his mad voice vociferating tonight. Nuremberg rally begun: but it goes on for another week. And what will be happening this time 10 days? Suppose we skim across, still at any moment any accident may suddenly bring out the uproar.

All that lies over the water in the brain of that ridiculous little man. Why ridiculous? Because none of it fits: encloses no reality. Death and war and darkness representing nothing that any human being from the pork butcher to the Prime Minister cares one straw about. Not liberty, not life. Merely a housemaid's dream, and we woke from that dream and had the Cenotaph to remind us of the fruits. Well, I can't spread my mind wide enough to take it in, intelligibly.

I can’t believe it’s been just over three years since the #VirginiaWoolf #statue was unveiled in Richmond. It was 16 November 2022.

I was thrilled to be involved in the fundraising for the statue, and attended many, many committee meetings, not thinking we’d ever raise the money. The sculptor, Laury Dizengremel, was kind enough to give me a bronze miniature of the statue which sits proudly in my home.

It’s also been 7 years since my book, Virginia Woolf in Richmond was published.

Happy times!

"...Hence the extreme difficulty. But I hope perhaps tomorrow to have done, and then the dinner party and Kitty in the country should go quicker. At least I find the upper air scenes much simpler; and I think it's right to keep them so. But Lord what a lot of work still to do! It won't be done before August. And here I am plagued by the sudden wish to write an anti-Fascist pamphlet."

A “common delusion” in Virginia Woolf’s “Mrs. Dalloway” (1925). #111Words #VirginiaWoolf #MrsDalloway #Fiction #Novels #Literature #Psychology #TheGreatWar #DelusionsOfGrandeur https://111-words.ghost.io/a-common-delusion-in-virginia-woolfs-mrs-dalloway-1925/

one leaf flapping; then completely smooth for a moment; then prickled; thorns like glass; but leaping up and down incessantly; a rapid smirch of shadow. Now light from the sun; green and red; shiny; the pond a sage green; the grass brilliant green; red berries on the hedge; the cows very white; purple over Asheham.

A violent rain storm on the pond. The pond is covered with little white thorns; springing up and down: the pond is bristling with leaping white thorns, like the thorns on a small porcupine; bristles; then black waves; cross it; black shudders; and the little water thorns are white; a helter skelter rain and the elms tossing it up and down; the pond overflowing on one side; lily leaves tugging; the red flower swimming about;

Wir sollten alle viel mehr Virgina Woolf lesen. Ihre Montagetechnik, dieses Ineinanderflechten von Handlung und Stream of Consciousness aller Figuren, das ist schon echt extrem stark. Sowohl stilistisch wie auch inhaltlich.

"A remarkable literary discovery has thrilled readers of the late, great British writer Virginia Woolf. More than 80 years after her death, a new book has been published this week. It's a collection of three comic stories written eight years before her first novel appeared. "
