This is an excerpt from "To the Lighthouse", Chapter 11, by Virginia Woolf.
Imagine, without knowing the setup to this scene, or having read the book, you are dropped this passage and asked all sort of questions, such as the meaning of the light, why does she says "It's enough".
How do you make sense of it without having even read the book?

God, I love Woolf.
Also, do you own homework, faggot

She's got beautiful prose. I wish I could write like her.
>>9460787
I feel like her sentences are too long compared to how the average english writes, they go for too long and the point ends up missing, in this book I don't see the interior monologue, it seems just a vague third person perspective.
The description seems more apt to the design of poetry rather than introspection, given only this excerpt and nothing else, I can't gauge much of the who, what, where, how.

Am I just biased because I did not (as I had not to) read the book from start to end, I can't make sense of certain things the author I suppose is trying to convey.

I'm really tired of seeing visual representation of this board going downhill every time I open a thread

If I wanted to bait people or force memes I wouldn't go to /lit/, do you mind stating your problem?
>>9460856
At least I try asking the questions instead of posting just to state my disappointment/superiority and leave no room for any debate.
>>9460804
sigh
>>9460774
why would you need to try and assess this passage out of its greater context?
>>9462807
Some dope professors do that.
>>9460793
And she wished she could write like that filthy, poor mick Joyce,
>>9462859
Her prose is better than Joyce
Hits that fine line of being rythmic without looking obviously twinked out.
