For the great plateful of blue water was before her; the
hoary Lighthouse, distant, austere, in the midst; and on the right, as far as
the eye could see, fading and falling, in soft low pleats, the green sand dunes
with the wild flowing grasses on them, which always seemed to be running away
into some moon country, uninhabited of men. (TTL 16)
Julia Stephens, Woolf's mother, died May 5, 1895
