Rose Red Tower: May 23, 2015

Dearest Creature,
. . . Theres only one person I want to see, and she has no burning wish for anything but a rose red tower and a view of hop gardens and oasts.  Who could it be? It is said that she has written a poem and has a mother, a cow, and a moat.

Letter to Vita Sackville-West  May 25, 1932
(L5 66)





Oasts at Sissinghurst
On May 23, 1030, Woolf visited Sissinghurst for the first time
