A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf Creating space for freedom

The back-and-forth dialogue in the essay—between herself and herself, and then between herself and her reader—parallels what Hannah Arendt later called the “two-in-one” of thinking. My fuller musing below. open.substack.com/pub/dngolden...

„Die Geschichte des Widerstands der Männer gegen die Emanzipation der Frauen ist vielleicht interessanter als die Geschichte dieser Emanzipation selbst.“

– Virginia #Woolf, gestorben am heutigen Tag im Jahr 1941, in „Ein Zimmer für sich allein“

Omslag van Mrs Dalloway van Virginia Woolf

💙📚 boekdraad 2026/2

Vandaag geboortedag van Virginia #Woolf. Onlangs las ik Mrs. Dalloway uit, maar erg beklijven deed het niet. De gedachtestroom is (mij) te springerig om de personages goed in beeld te krijge, maar ik geef toe: ik had niet de meeste concentratie tijdens het lezen.

On #VirginiaWoolf's birthday, explore The Life of Violet, Virginia Woolf’s first fully realized work of fiction—published in its final, revised form for the first time.

'Bacco' dipinto a olio su tela realizzato nel 1598 ca. da Caravaggio, conservato presso la Galleria degli Uffizi di Firenze La tela oscilla tra una rappresentazione naturalista e un'allegoria, che sottolinea il trascorrere del tempo e l'evanescenza dei piaceri terreni.

In arte, come nella vita, tutti gli errori più grossolani derivano dalla mancanza di misura, e dalla tendenza a essere esageratamente e ostentatamente seri.

Studio di proporzioni del corpo noto come 'Uomo vitruviano' di Leonardo Da Vinci, 1492 ca., Gallerie dell’Accademia, Venezia Leonardo da Vinci, Cod. Atlantico, 55 v. “L’omo è detto da li antiqui mondo minore, e certo la dizione è bene collocata imperò che, sí come l’omo è composto di terra, acqua, aria e foco, questo corpo della terra è il simigliante. Se l’omo à in sé ossa, sostenitore e armadura della carne, il mondo à i sassi sostenitori della terra; se l’omo à in sé il lago del sangue, dove cresce e discresce il polmone nello alitare, il corpo della terra à il suo oceano mare, il quale, ancora lui, cresce e discresce ogni sei ore per lo alitare del mondo; se dal detto lago di sangue dirivan vene, che si vanno ramificando per lo corpo umano, similmente il mare oceano empie il corpo de la terra d’infinite vene d’acqua. Manca al corpo della terra i nervi, i quali non vi sono, perché i nervi sono fatti al proposito del movimento, e il mondo, sendo di perpetua stabilità, non v’accade movimento e, non v’accadendo movimento, i nervi non vi sono necessari. Ma in tutte l’altre cose sono molto simili.”

Immediatamente, appena dimentichiamo di ridere, perdiamo il senso delle proporzioni e della realtà.
