129 years old
Virginia Woolf was born 129 years ago today. I would like to celebrate this date with a picture of Virginia and Leonard since their union was so sympathetic and supportive, and with her last words to him.
Happy birthday Virginia
‘Dearest, I feel certain I am going mad again. I feel we can’t go through another of those terrible times.And I shan’t recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can’t concentrate. So I am doing what seems to be the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don’t think two people could have been happier till this terrible disease came. I can’t fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see, I can’t even write it properly. I can’t read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that - everybody knows it. If anyone could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me except the certainty of your goodness. I can’t go on spoiling your life any longer. I don’t think two people could have been happier than we have been.
V.
