orplid:Virginia Woolf and her lover, the English poet Vita Sackville-West“Look here Vita — throw over your man, and we’ll go to Hampton Court and dine on the river together and walk in the garden in the moonlight and come home late and have a bottle of wine and get tipsy, and I’ll tell you all the things I have in my head, millions, myriads — They won’t stir by day, only by dark on the river. Think of that. Throw over your man, I say, and come.”- Virginia Woolf’s 1927 Love Letter to Vita Sackville-Westi mean, again, why do we need these women to be younger than they were. let’s think about that.that photo on the left is dated at least ten years before vita sackville-west met virginia woolf, and in the photo on the right virginia woolf is twenty years old; she did not meet vita until she was forty. in 1927, the date of the quotation, vita was thirty-five and woolf was forty-five. their relationship continued well into vita’s forties and woolf’s fifties. another way of looking at it is that in 1902 when the portrait was taken, virginia was not named woolf and had published nothing under her own name and would not publish a novel for thirteen more years. when her intimacy with vita began she was the author of mrs dalloway.stop doing this. -- source link
