Wonderful photos. The street numbers and Google Street View a good pairing for a perambulation.
"To be silent; to be alone. All the being and the doing, expansive, glittering, vocal, evaporated; and one shrunk, with a sense of solemnity, to being oneself, a wedge-shaped core of darkness, something invisible to others."
From the few short stories, and To The Lighthouse that I've read, I don't like Virginia Woolf's writing. However, I found this really interesting. I'd heard about the sexual abuse before; terrible. I know that's a euphemism but without descending into a rant about what I think should happen to people who do that I find it hard to say anything appropriate.
Anyway, what with your post reigniting my awareness of Virginia Woolf, and @mary tabor also suggesting (as have others) that I read Mrs Dalloway, and given that several people have told me I ought to read Woolf's essays, I bought a book of her complete works. Before you get too excited, one of the attractions was that it was only 99p on Kindle in the UK, and only 99c in USA. In case anyone else is interested, here are the links: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Virginia-Woolf-Complete-Collection-ebook/dp/B07NDFTX6S/ and https://www.amazon.com/Virginia-Woolf-Complete-Collection-ebook/dp/B07NDFTX6S/ These are not affiliate links, in case you were wondering 😁
Thank you so for joining us on Inner life. Wonderful essay about Virginia Woolf's early life and lovely companion to my essay here on the novel _To the Lighthouse_. ~ xo Mary

There it is.
