Mrs Dalloway/The Hours Flashcards
Time - Clarissa car
“For the surface agitation of the passing car as it sunk grazed something very profound.”
Time - big ben quote
“The sound of Big Ben striking the ½ hour struck out between them with extraordinary vigour, as if a young man, strong, indifferent, inconsiderate, were swinging dumbells this way and that.”
Time - memory resurfacing quote
“Such are the visions which ceaselessly float up, pace beside, put their faces in front of the actual thing.”
Time - Septimus car
“this gradual drawing together of everything to one centre before his eyes, as if some horror had come almost to the surface and was about to burst into flames, terrified him.”
Madness - rest
“It was merely a question of rest, said Sir William; of rest, rest, rest; a long rest in bed.”
Madness - proportion
“Worshipping proportion, Sir William not only prospered himself, but made England prosper.”
Madness - human nature
“Once you fall, human nature is on you Holmes and Bradshaw are on you Human nature is remorseless.”
Madness - idols
“even now engaged in dashing down shrines, smashing idols, and setting up in their place her own stern countenance.”
