from my notes on Virginia Woolf

"Probably," said Jacob, "we are the only people in the world who know what the Greeks meant."

Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.

A Thought for the Day

"Poetry turns all things to loveliness; it exalts the beauty of that which is most beautiful...It transmutes all that it touches, and every form moving within the radiance of its presence is changed by wondrous sympathy to an incarnation of the spirit which it breathes..." (A Defense of Poetry, 1840).

Oh, Percy Bysshe Shelley. <3
