A Biographical Note on
Virginia Woolf 29

F
ro m t h e ova l - s h a p e d flower-
bed there rose perhaps a hundred
stalks spreading into heart-shaped
or tongue-shaped leaves halfway up and un-
furling at the tip red or blue or yellow petals
marked with spots of colour raised upon
the surface; and from the red, blue or yel-
low gloom of the throat emerged a straight
bar, rough with gold dust and slightly
clubbed at the end. The petals were volu-
minous enough to be stirred by the summer
breeze, and when they moved, the red, blue
and yellow lights passed one over the other,
staining an inch of the brown earth beneath
with a spot of the most intricate colour.
