"just now I pick up the blessed diary of Virginia Woolf which I bought with a battery of her novels. I feel my life linked to her, somehow. But her suicide, I felt I was reduplicating in black summer of 1953. Only I couldn't drown. I suppose I'll always be over-vulnerable, slightly paranoid. But I'm also so damn healthy & resilient. And apple-pie happy"
