Someone in Ninth Street marked a passage. Reply here, or keep reading
and come back to it.
Jonathan marked p. 138
— three days ago
“There is nothing one can fix the mind upon. Nothing one can
lean against. A strange figure stands on the edge of the sea.”
Ava:
This is the same vertigo Barnes is writing in Nightwood,
though Woolf gets there four years earlier.

step outside the six of them here?

Daria marked p. 141
— this morning
“The rat-tat-tat of the typewriter. That was life; Mr. Prentice
at four; Mr. Eyres at four-thirty.”
