Quotations from Virginia Woolf, often (but not always) linked to flowers, usually inspired by what is in bloom, and accompanied by my photos and artwork or that of friends. If a photo is not attributed, I took it. (Quotations are from the standard American editions: mostly the annotated Harcourt Brace series edited by Mark Hussey)

London Chestnuts in May bloom
The tree bowing, the grey spires soft in the
blue, voices blowing and seeming suspended in the air, the springy air of May,
the elastic air with its particles – chestnut bloom, pollen, whatever it is
that gives May air its potency, blurring the trees, gumming the buds, daubing
the green. Jacob's Room (35)
