"First a warning, musical; then the hour, irrevocable. The leaden circles dissolved in the air"
"to kindle and illuminate; to give her party"
"This late age of world's experience had bred in them all, all men and women, a well of tears"
"Mrs Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself"
"What a lark! What a plunge!"
"out, out, far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even on day"
"did it matter that she must inevitably cease completely; all this must go on without her... did it not become consoling... here, there, she survived"
"Fear no more the heat o' the sun / nor the furious winter's rages"
Oh if she could have had her life over again!"
"Religious ecstasy made people callous"
"Oh! a pistol shot in the street outside"
"the most dejected of miseries sitting on doorsteps... can't be dealt with, she felt positive, by Acts of Parliament for that very reason; they love life"
Malcolm Hebron on Clarissa
Anotações:
- "her mind is collecting these images of life to cover up something darker underneath, her own fear of mortality and social disintegration" "the sea represents something ageless and primeval, in contrast to modern man, living by the chimes of Big Ben and intent on social sophistication"
