"But I pine in Solitude. Solitude is my undoing."
-Virginia Woolf, The Waves-
To pine: to languish, to lose flesh or wear away through distress. A painful longing.

"Let us again pretend that life is a solid substance, shaped like a globe, which we turn about in our fingers. Let us pretend that we can make out a plain and logical story, so that when one matter is despatched—love for instance—we go on, in an orderly manner, to the next."
-Virginia Woolf , The Waves-
(When you burn two matches leaning against each other, it gives rise to a tragiromantic dance.)
Happy Birthday Virginia Woolf 🙏.
"What is the meaning of life? That was all- a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one."
_Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse_
Virginia Woolf, the writer who took refuge, took resort, took triumph, took life, and took vengence on life with Language. I always recommend her to friends and on social media. She was indeed a troubled woman, that only made her who she is. She wore her sufferings like her best attire. She lived her life but she saw through life in ways that few other writers could. She spoke for many things, she promoted many things, she aspired many things but what she does best is the art of reflection. She conjures up meaning out of nowhere, she pours life into inanimate, intangible things and defeats the ways of life by which it makes a man feels less, feels unimportant, or lost. Her human eye was indeed a beholder of many beauties and her mind a herald of many meanings. #readmorevirginiawoolf

And if I did go overboard / Then I would surely die / But if I could have one thing in life / I would love her by and by - Siren's Song by Brave the Sea

Her eyes are closed and she's smiling softly. She is cradling a large heart against her chest and glowing golden liquid is pouring out of it and dissolving in the water. She is floating in front of a dark blue background of a starry sky over water. The colours are most saturated near the top of the piece. /End ID]
“I was always going to the bookstore for another sip of the divine specific.”
— Virginia Woolf, The Waves
Something within her refused to grow. Something endless, eternal. Something bold. Something warrior-like. She looked up at the stars, she could feel, she felt as if she could pluck them one by one and send them spinning into the world, like small beautiful elastic mercurial weapons. Now too, the time is coming.
