CONY的世界

Part 1: When Woolf and a little girl were preparing a funeral for a bird
Woolf: Do you think she like roses?
Little girl(I forgot the name):Is it she?
W: Yes, the females are larger and less colorful.
L: What happened if we died?
W: What happened?
We returned to the place where we came from.
L: I don’t remember where I came from.
W: Nor do I.
L: She looks very small
W: Yes. That is one of the things that happen. We look smaller.
L: But very peaceful.

Part 2: When Laura was in the hotel, it is so quiet in the room.
She put all the pill bottles on the bed and
Remembered the blue, beautiful birthday cake she made
The last one, but beautiful.
She took out the novel Mrs. Dalloway
And read it, it is said:
Did it matter? Then she asked herself.
Walking toward Bond Street.
Did it matter that she must inevitably
Seize completely.
All of this must go on without her.
Did she resent it?
Did it not become consolely to believe that death
Can end absolutely.
Is it possible to die?
It is possible to die.

Part 3: Woolf was dying for moving back to London, but Leonard, her husband tried everything to keep her in a small town to give her quietness and peace. But this is not Woolf’s choice
W: This is no obligation.
No such obligation exists.
L: You have obligations to stay your own sanity.
W: I am enduring this custody, I am enduring this imprisonment.
……
W: My life’s been stolen from me
I am living in a town that I have no wish to live in
I am living a life that I have no wish to live
How did this happen?
……
W: I am dying in this town
L: I brought you Richmond to give you peace.
W: If I was thinking clearly, Leonard. I would tell you, I would reside alone in the dark, in the deep dark.
And only I can know, only I can understand my condition.
You live with this threat, you tell me, you live with the threat, my extinction.
Leonard. I live with it too.
……
W：I wish for your sake I could be happy in this quietness.
But if it is a choice between Richmond and death, I choose death.
You can not find peace by avoiding life. (This is my favorite)

Part 4: When Clarissa was talking with her daughter
C: I remembered one morning, getting up alone. There was such sense of possibilities.
You know, that feeling?
I remembered thinking by myself.
This is the beginning of happiness, this is where it starts, and of course it always be more.
Never occurred to me.
It wasn’t the beginning.
It was happiness.
It was the moment
Right then.

Part 5: When Woolf and Leonard were talking about the death.
L: Why there is someone has to die?
W: Leonard
L: In your book, you said someone had to die. Why? This is stupid question?
W: No
L: Leonard. My question is stupid.
W: Not at all.
L: Well?
W: Someone has to die in order that rest of us value life more.
It’s contrast.
L: And who will die, tell me?
W: The poet will die.

Part 6: When Laura was speaking to Clarissa
L: It won’t be wonderful to say you are regretted.
It would be easy.
But what it mean?
What it mean to regret, when you have no choice.
It’s what you can bear.
There is no one to forgive me.
It was death, I chose life.

Part 7: The letter of Woolf to Leonard before her death
W: Dear Leonard:
To look life in the face
Always to look life in the face
And to know it, for what it is.
It last.
To know it, to love it, for what it is
And then, to put it away.
Leonard
Always the years between us.
Always the years.
Always the love
Always the hours.
