From Virginia Woolf’s diary:
“…what a lot I’ve got to read! The entire works of Mr. James Joyce, Wyndham Lewis, Ezra Pound, so as to compare them with the entire works of Dickens and Mrs. Gaskell; besides that George Elliot; and finally Hardy.”
Who am I to complain about all the books in my TBR river?
“No hi ha barrera, pany, ni forrellat que puguis imposar a la llibertat de la meva ment.”
(“There is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.”)
-Virginia Wolf-
El 28 de març de 1941, #VirginiaWoolf va omplir les butxaques del seu abric amb pedres i va entrar a poc a poc en el riu Ouse (#Sussex) per a no sortir més. Tenia 59 anys.
