Part 4
- Peter
- "As for caring what they said
of him... he cared not a straw"
- "I can't keep
up with them"
- "He had escaped!
was utterly free"
- "stealthily
fingering his
pocket-knife"
- Clarissa
- "Clarissa had grown hard... and a
trifle sentimental into the bargain"
Anmerkungen:
- "into the bargain" implies that life is about what you win; luck of the draw
- "a sort of timidity, which
in middle age becomes
conventionality"
- "'There's my Elizabeth; -
that sort of thing - why not
'Here's Elizabeth' simply?"
- "she trusts to her charm too
much... she overdoes it"
- Clarissa "may be too stiff,
too glittery and tinsely"
Anmerkungen:
- Virginia's own feelings about Clarissa are expressed through Peter's criticism
- London
- St Margeret's
Anmerkungen:
- Peter compares it to Clarissa, for Richard is Westminster
- Small
church for
MPs
Anmerkungen:
- "the voice of the hostess, is reluctant to inflict
its individuality. Some grief for the past holds
it back; some concern for the present"
- Whitehall
- "strict in step, up Whitehall"
- "Empty tomb"
Anmerkungen:
- Honouring the dead, but it is "empty", pointless
- Trafalgar
- Gordon
- "Gordon whom as a boy he had
worshipped; Gordon standing lonely with
one leg raised and his arms crossed"
- Havelock and Nelson
- "the exalted statues"
- "the pulse of a perfect
heart, life struck straight
through the streets"
- "A splendid
achievement
in its own
way, after all,
London; the
season;
civilization"
- "a personal possession;
moments of pride in
England; in butlers; chow
dogs; girls in their security"
- "overcome with shame suddenly
at having been a fool; wept"
- "As a cloud crosses the sun,
silence falls on London; and
falls on the mind"
- "for one must invent, must
allow oneself a little diversion"
