Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway centers around two mirrored characters who don’t even know each other. Although over a century old, it’s still incredibly relevant to today. #virginawoolf #classicliterature #booksky #mrsdalloway #bookreview #classicbook #bookrecommendation

“The flower bloomed and faded. The sun rose and sank. The lover loved and went. And what the poets said in rhyme, the young translated into practice.”

— Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

Text from Nigel Nicolson’s biography of Virginia Woolf. ‘It was at this period that I first came to know her. In 1924 I was seven years old, and my brother Ben was nine. She often came to Long Barn for a night or two, and we greatly looked forward to her visits, being ignorant of their cause. (A woman, who should have known better, once said to me, 'You realise that Virginia loves your mother, to which I innocently replied, 'Yes, of course she does: we all do.) Virginia was not particularly fond of children apart from Vanessa's, and except for James in To the Lighthouse, they do not figure largely in her novels. But she was interested in us, because children, like eccentrics, are unusual people, and under the guise of amusing us she would amuse herself: 'Tell me, what have you done this morning?' "Well, nothing much. No, no, that won't do. What woke you up?' "The sun, coming through our bedroom window. Was it a happy sun or an angry sun?’

‘But she was interested in us because children, like eccentrics, are unusual people’: Vita Sackville-West’s son Nigel on Virginia Woolf’s early conversations with him

Coming to the unoriginal conclusion that Virginia Woolf's short stories are among her most compelling works. I picked this up having read Forster's essay on Mrs Dalloway (on its centenary). Some of the stories refer back to the Westminster setting of that book. #VirginaWoolf #modernwasm
