Part 8

1. "Had he served with distinction... in the War itself he had failed"
2. "He was attaching meanings to words of a symbolical kind"
3. "One of Holme's homes?"

   Anmerkungen:

   • Witty, cynical
4. "The fellow made a distasteful impression"

   Anmerkungen:

   • "distasteful" normally reserved for speaking about art, or fashion. Makes him sound snobby, pompous and incredibly shallow
5. "watching the watery gold glow and fade with the astonishing sensibility of some live creature on the roses, on the wall-paper"
6. "to be alone forever"

   Anmerkungen:

   • LK to Clarissa
7. "a young hawk"

1. "She had asked for help and been deserted!"
2. "the most dreadful thing of all, to see a man like Septimus, who had fought, who was brave, crying"
3. "Never had she felt so happy"

1. "the stream of patients being so incessant, the responsibilities and privileges of his profession so onerous"
2. "It took half his time to undo [general practitioners'] blunders"

   Anmerkungen:

   • Builds hope for Bradshaw
3. "rest, rest, rest; a long rest in bed"

   Anmerkungen:

   • repetition emphasises monotony and extreme boredom of such a 'cure'. Also shows how he is actually clutching at straws; repeating one idea because he can think of nothing else
   • "rest in solitude; silence and rest; rest without friends, without books, without messages; six months' rest; until a man who went in weighing seven stone six comes out weighing twelve"
   1. Yellow Wallpaper, Wier Mitchell
4. "We all have our moments of depression"

   Anmerkungen:

   • Degrading problem
5. "in this exacting science which has to do with what, after all, we know nothing about"
6. "secluded [England's] lunatics, forbade child-birth, penalized despair, made it impossible for the unfit to propagate their views until they, too, shared his sense of proportion"
7. "shredding and slicing... counselled submission, upheld authority, and pointed out in chorus the supreme advantages of a sense of proportion"
8. "The people we are most fond of are not good for us when we are ill"
9. "It was their idea of tragedy... Holmes and Bradshaw liked that sort of thing"
10. "The coward!... and why the devil he did it, Dr Holmes could no conceive"

1. Lady Bradshaw: "the wall of gold, mounting minute by minute while she waited"
2. Lady Bradshaw: "took photographs, which were scarcely to be distinguished from the work of professionals, while she waited."
3. "the slow sinking, water-logged, of her will into his"
4. "she cramped, squeezed, pared, pruned, drew back, peeped through"
5. "It was vaguely flattering to them all. He had come back, battered, unsuccessful, to their secure shores"
6. "[Richard] meant, whenever he had a moment of leisure, to write a history of Lady Bruton's family"
7. "He liked continuity; and the sense of handing on the traditions of the past"

1. "how detestable"
2. "would destroy that, whatever it was, the privacy of the soul"
3. "here was one room; there another. Did religion solve that, or love?"

Anmerkungen:

• After Dr Holmes' complete and utter incompetence, Woolf builds hope around Bradshaw (as we know he is more expensive) but then it is dashed when he suggests rest

1. "the priest of science"
2. "not merely of lightning skill and almost infallible accuracy in diagnosis, but of sympathy; tact; understanding of the human soul"
3. "he never spoke of 'madness'; he called it not having a sense of proportion"
4. "Sir William Bradshaw was not a nice man"
5. "He swooped; he devoured. He shut people up"

1. "He did not go deeply. He brushed surfaces"
2. "afloat on the cream of English society for fifty-five years"
3. "one or two humble reforms stood to his credit"
4. "Hugh was slow. Hugh was pertinacious"
5. "He was unspeakably pompous... damned insolence... Hugh was becoming an intolerable ass"
