Sylvia Townsend Warner on Virginia Woolf
Diaries 26th
January 1942
‘At Boots Library the young woman put into my hands Virginia
Woolf’s last book [Between The Acts]. And I received an extraordinary impression
how light it was, how small, and frail.
As though it was the premature-born child, and motherless, and
literally, the last light handful remaining of that tall and abundant
woman. The feeling has haunted me all
day.’
