It’s the first day of the rest of our life as an OF follower…
In line with what I suggested yesterday, I’m shifting OF towards a more in-depth focus on one event or one very special person pr. day.
——
Tonight the focus inevitably falls on that Modernist elegantier, Virginia Woolf, b. Jan 25, 130 years ago today…
Mrs. Woolf took the writing business seriously - mortally so:
“For it would seem - her case proved it - that we write, not with the fingers, but with the whole person. The nerve which controls the pen winds itself about every fibre of our being, threads the heart, pierces the liver.” ― Virginia Woolf, Orlando: A Biography
Photo from Smith College’s rich coffers of Woolfian images and objects: Virginia Woolf at Garsington, 1923… (This is however the same shot that The National Portrait Gallery credits to Lady Ottoline Morell, c. 1917…)
