“at the moment her eyes were so clear that they seemed to go round the table unveiling each of these people, and their thoughts and their feelings, without effort like a light stealing under water so that its ripples and the reeds in it and the minnows balancing themselves, and the sudden silent trout are all lit up hanging, trembling... for the moment, she hung suspended.”

“In a flash she saw her picture, and thought, Yes, I shall put the tree further in the middle; then I shall avoid that awkward space. That's what I shall do. That's what has been puzzling me.

beginning to realize that this is a book best consumed in one (or two) very long sittings not sentence by sentence as i have been oops. also aild is my only base of comparison but i was struck so suddenly by its likeness on this page. i think it’s the characteristic lack of proper character introductions paired with an unusually large family. and the many motifs strands, and i am sure i have missed some
