was--her picture. Yes, with all its greens and blues, its lines running up and
across, its attempt at something. It would be hung in the attics, she thought;
it would be destroyed. But what did that matter? she asked herself, taking up
her brush again. She looked at the steps; they were empty; she looked at her
canvas; it was blurred. With a sudden intensity, as if she saw it clear for a second,
she drew a line there, in the centre. It was done; it was finished. Yes, she
thought, laying down her brush in extreme fatigue, I have had my vision.</span></div>

this I reach what I might call a philosophy; at any rate it is a constant idea
of mine; that behind the cotton wool is hidden a pattern; that we--I mean all
human beings--are connected with this; that the whole world is a work of art;
that we are parts of the work of art. <b><i>Hamlet </i></b>or a Beethoven
quartet is the truth about this vast mass that we call the world. But there is
no Shakespeare, there is no Beethoven ; certainly and emphatically there is no
God; we are the words; we are the music; we are the thing itself.</div>

rhythm is, and goes far deeper than words.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A sight, an emotion, creates a wave in the mind, long before it makes
words to fit it; and in writing (such is my preent belief) one hasto recapture
this, and set the working (which has apparently nothing to do with words) and
then, as it breaks and tumbles in the mind, it makes words to fit it: But no

William's goddess, was acquired by Sir William walking hospitals, catching
salmon, begetting one son in Harley Street by Lady Bradshaw, who caught salmon
herself and took photographs scarcely to be distinguished from the work of professionals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Worshipping proportion, Sir William not only prospered
himself but made England prosper, secluded her lunatics, forbade childbirth,
penalised despair, made it impossible for the unfit to propagate their views
until they, too, shared his sense of proportion--his, if they were men, Lady
Bradshaw's if they were women (she embroidered, knitted, spent four nights out
of seven at home with her son), so that not only did his colleagues respect him,
his subordinates fear him, but the friends and relations of his patients felt
for him the keenest gratitude for insisting that these prophetic Christs and
Christesses, who prophesied the end of the world, or the advent of God, should
drink milk in bed, as Sir William ordered; Sir William with his thirty years'
experience of these kinds of cases, and his infallible instinct, this is
madness, this sense; in fact, his sense of proportion.</span></div>

There was something curious in the sight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Perhaps it was that the heavy wax-like flowers were so smooth and
inarticulate, and his face-- he had thrown his hat away, his hair was rumpled,
he held his eye-glasses in his hand, so that a red mark appeared on either side
of his nose--was so worried and garrulous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was a beautiful bush, spreading very widely, and all the time she had
sat there talking she had been noticing the patches of shade and the shape of
the leaves, and the way the great white flowers sat in the midst of the green.
She had noticed it half-consciously, nevertheless the pattern had become part
of their talk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i></span></div>

slept in the orchard, lying in a long chair beneath the apple-tree. Her book
had fallen into the grass, and her finger still seemed to point at the sentence
"Ce pays est vraiment un des coins du monde ou le rire des filles eclate
le mieux . . ." as if she had fallen asleep just there. The opals on her
finger flushed green, flushed rosy, and again flushed orange as the sun, oozing
through the apple-trees, filled them. Then, when the breeze blew, her purple
dress rippled like a flower attached to a stalk; the grasses nodded; and the
white butterfly came blowing this way and that just above her face. Four feet
in the air over her head the apples hung. </span><br />

flowering now; and to be dreaming of more than can rightly be said, and to be
taking from its case a cigarette or cigar even, and to be flinging a cloak

Well then, we went and had tea with Henry James today, and Mr and Mrs Prothero at the golf club; and Henry James
fixed me with his staring blank eye—it is like a childs marble —and said
‘My dear Virginia, they tell me—they tell me — they tell me—that you —as
indeed being your fathers daughter nay your grandfathers grandchild—the
descendant I may say of a century—of a century—of quill pens and
ink—ink—ink pots, yes, yes, yes, they tell me—ahm m m —that you, that
you, that you <i>write</i> in short.’ This went on in the public street,
while we all waited, as farmers wait for the hen to lay an egg—do
they?—nervous, polite, and now on this foot now on that. I felt like a condemned person, who sees the knife drop and stick and drop again. <br />

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A lady, fashionably dressed with a purple feather dipping
down on one side of her hat, sat there sipping an ice. The sun dappled the
table and gave her a curious look of transparency, as if she were caught in a
net of light; as if she were composed of lozenges of floating colours. Martin
half thought that he knew her; he half raised his hat. But she sat there
looking in front of her; sipping her ice. No, he thought; he did not know her,
and he stopped for a moment to light his pipe. What would the world be, he said
to himself--he was still thinking of the fat man brandishing his arm--without
"I" in it? He lit the match. He looked at the flame that had become
almost invisible in the sun. He stood for a second drawing at his pipe. Sara
had walked on. She too was netted with floating lights from between the leaves.
A primal innocence seemed to brood over the scene. The birds made a fitful
sweet chirping in the branches; the roar of London encircled the open space in
a ring of distant but complete sound. The pink and white chestnut blossoms rode
up and down as the branches moved in the breeze. The sun dappling the leaves
gave everything a curious look of insubstantiality as if it were broken into
separate points of light. He too, himself, seemed dispersed.</span></div>
