No. She is overrated to the EXTREME. To The Lighthouse was marbled with cringe. The Waves is actual garbage.

There is a reason her works are never discussed. Watch this thread. Look at any Woolf thread.

My instinct is to compare her to a certain female literary genius, but that's not fair. Put her next to idk go down the fucking list. I don't like DFW and she compares poorly to his works. Lovecraft compares better.

He destroys and continues:

"To put it bluntly, I’m not impressed.

The portion I enjoyed the most was the opening page describing the rising sun upon the waters, and even that one I found the description to be trying too hard to be just descriptive and photographic and not charged with enough conceptual aspects. I get it’s trying to convey a mood but still, I worried from it that I was going to run into a similar experience as I had with HD, but I actually found she has the opposite problem to HD after that page.

What follows is honestly, a gimmick. I call it a gimmick because at no point was I allowed to forget I am reading a book, at no point was an illusion created in which I forgot the medium and enjoyed the beauty for itself.

Her style didn’t impress me in it because all she did was assault us with a ton of similes, but these failed because the majority of them weren’t impactful emotionally and as for their intellectual content, they’re closer to the stuff that appeals to those who want poetic feels and not genuine intellectual sustenance. This would be normally fine but she’s trying for too formless a style, in this formless vocal simile style she keeps casting images and I keep seeing emptiness in them. It was nothing but a dance of empty shapes with the occasional goodline on a technical level. If you cannot get me into the illusion you have failed, if your illusion strives for the formless style it must have a purpose otherwise it is nothing but emptiness. Perhaps this was a meme selection and her other books are less gimmick filled.

I cannot see why someone would read this over something like thunder Perfect mind. Let me show you a difference in power.

"I was sent forth from the power,
and I have come to those who reflect upon me,
and I have been found among those who seek after me.
Look upon me, you who reflect upon me,

You who are waiting for me, take me to yourselves.
And do not banish me from your sight.
And do not make your voice hate me, nor your hearing.
Do not be ignorant of me anywhere or any time. Be on your guard!
Do not be ignorant of me.
For I am the first and the last.
I am the honored one and the scorned one.
I am the whore and the holy one.
I am the wife and the virgin.
I am <the mother> and the daughter.
I am the members of my mother.
I am the barren one

I am she whose wedding is great,
and I have not taken a husband.
I am the midwife and she who does not bear.
I am the solace of my labor pains.
I am the bride and the bridegroom,

I am the mother of my father
and the sister of my husband
and he is my offspring.
I am the slave of him who prepared me.
I am the ruler of my offspring.
But he is the one who begot me before the time on a birthday.
And he is my offspring in (due) time,
and my power is from him.
I am the staff of his power in his youth,
and he is the rod of my old age.
And whatever he wills happens to me.
I am the silence that is incomprehensible
and the idea whose remembrance is frequent.
I am the voice whose sound is manifold
and the word whose appearance is multiple.
I am the utterance of my name. (And it continues on with this same power)
Or let me show you another one, from John dee.

I am the daughter of Fortitude,
and ravished every hour from my youth,
for behold, I am understanding & science dwelleth in me: & the heavens oppress me,
They cover and desire me with infinite appetite
few or none that are earthly have embraced me
for I am shadowed with the circle of the son:
and covered with the morning clouds:
My feet are swifter than the winds,
& my hands are sweeter than the morning dew.
My garments are from the beginning:
& my dwelling place is in myself.
The lion knoweth not where I walk: neither do the beast of the field understand me. I am deflowered & yet a virgin.
I sanctify & am not sanctified
happy is he that embraceth me.
for in the night season I am sweet,
and in the day full of pleasure.

And this one Laos continues on for sometime.


Do you know what’s the similarity between these three works? They project femininity, they project formlessness, they are filled with images. The difference? These two do not feel empty, the imagery used is just as fast paced if not more so than Virginia’s but has many times more force because it isn’t empty simple that only reflects at most emotion and at worse just attempts to string together nice sounding descriptions that are semi relevant based on a cast who only exist to move forward the images.

Omae ma wo shinderu:

"I wondered after reading 10 pages if she would do this for the entire book so after reading I skipped to random parts of the book and did not see any change.

I’m not saying this to be controversial, I just wasn’t impressed. Again compare something like Hertha to it. Also it didn’t help that all of the characters had the same exact voice. If I can see the man behind the mask he’s wearing a poor costume, so is it with this art.

But again, perhaps this is just a flaw of the specific work and she’s more convincing in other works. I can’t imagine they’re all written in this style"

>> No.18665944

Sigh:

"I mean it honestly comes off more like an average prose poem. I can’t understand how this has so much acclaim and support when there’s so much more beautiful and descriptive prose that actually can take you and drag you into the illusion world of the author’s mind. I mean look at this:

“I SEE a ring,’ said Bernard, ‘hanging above me. It quivers and hangs in a loop of light.’
‘I see a slab of pale yellow,’ said Susan, ‘spreading away until it meets a purple stripe.’
‘I hear a sound,’ said Rhoda, ‘cheep, chirp; cheep chirp; going up and down.’
‘I see a globe,’ said Neville, ‘hanging down in a drop against the enormous flanks of some hill.’
‘I see a crimson tassel,’ said Jinny, ‘twisted with gold threads.’
‘I hear something stamping,’ said Louis. ‘A great beast’s foot is chained. It stamps, and stamps, and stamps.’
‘Look at the spider’s web on the corner of the balcony,’ said Bernard. ‘It has beads of water on it, drops of white light.’
‘The leaves are gathered round the window like pointed ears,’ said Susan.
‘A shadow falls on the path,’ said Louis, ‘like an elbow bent.’
‘Islands of light are swimming on the grass,’ said Rhoda. ‘They have fallen through the trees.’
‘The birds’ eyes are bright in the tunnels between the leaves,’ said Neville.
‘The stalks are covered with harsh, short hairs,’ said Jinny, ‘and drops of water have stuck to them.’
‘A caterpillar is curled in a green ring
I’d even say this was over much if this was just the first half of one page, but it’s a poor application of trying to feel mysterious by casting an attack of rapid fire imagery. None of them particularly strong. And am I to believe a man is the one speaking when I read

Look at the spider’s web on the corner of the balcony,’ said Bernard. ‘It has beads of water on it, drops of white light.

Am I to believe these are a host of characters and not just one person trying to make many voices of feeling covered imagery? What would I gain in terms of aesthetic or intellectual pleasure, self contemplation, emotional movement or even just lowly crass energetic pleasure if I read this entire book if it’s just this same empty repetition? I don’t believe reading 10 pages or 100 pages of this would change my mind."

I like some of his work and dislike some of his work, I also like his friend Vernon Watkins. Some interesting sounds and imagery without a doubt but not a favorite.

Here’s a poem of his I liked.

Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughs
About the lilting house and happy as the grass was green,
The night above the dingle starry,
Time let me hail and climb
Golden in the heydays of his eyes,
And honoured among wagons I was prince of the apple towns
And once below a time I lordly had the trees and leaves
Trail with daisies and barley
Down the rivers of the windfall light.

And as I was green and carefree, famous among the barns
About the happy yard and singing as the farm was home,
In the sun that is young once only,
Time let me play and be
Golden in the mercy of his means,
And green and golden I was huntsman and herdsman, the calves
Sang to my horn, the foxes on the hills barked clear and cold,
And the sabbath rang slowly
In the pebbles of the holy streams.

All the sun long it was running, it was lovely, the hay
Fields high as the house, the tunes from the chimneys, it was air
And playing, lovely and watery
And fire green as grass.
And nightly under the simple stars
As I rode to sleep the owls were bearing the farm away,
All the moon long I heard, blessed among stables, the nightjars
Flying with the ricks, and the horses
Flashing into the dark.

And then to awake, and the farm, like a wanderer white
With the dew, come back, the cock on his shoulder: it was all
Shining, it was Adam and maiden,
The sky gathered again
And the sun grew round that very day.
So it must have been after the birth of the simple light
In the first, spinning place, the spellbound horses walking warm
Out of the whinnying green stable
On to the fields of praise.

And honoured among foxes and pheasants by the gay house
Under the new made clouds and happy as the heart was long,
In the sun born over and over,
I ran my heedless ways,
My wishes raced through the house high hay
And nothing I cared, at my sky blue trades, that time allows
In all his tuneful turning so few and such morning songs
Before the children green and golden
Follow him out of grace,

Nothing I cared, in the lamb white days, that time would take me
Up to the swallow thronged loft by the shadow of my hand,
In the moon that is always rising,
Nor that riding to sleep
I should hear him fly with the high fields
And wake to the farm forever fled from the childless land.
Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means,
Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains like the sea.

I find him enormously gifted with words but without a vision and too given to alliteration.
The opening of 'under the milkwood' is great:-

"To begin at the beginning:

It is Spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent and the hunched, courters'-and- rabbits' wood limping invisible down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboat-bobbing sea. The houses are blind as moles (though moles see fine to-night in the snouting, velvet dingles) or blind as Captain Cat there in the muffled middle by the pump and the town clock, the shops in mourning, the Welfare Hall in widows' weeds. And all the people of the lulled and dumbfound town are sleeping now.

Hush, the babies are sleeping, the farmers, the fishers, the tradesmen and pensioners, cobbler, schoolteacher, postman and publican, the undertaker and the fancy woman, drunkard, dressmaker, preacher, policeman, the webfoot cocklewomen and the tidy wives. Young girls lie bedded soft or glide in their dreams, with rings and trousseaux, bridesmaided by glow-worms down the aisles of the organplaying wood. The boys are dreaming wicked or of the bucking ranches of the night and the jollyrogered sea. And the anthracite statues of the horses sleep in the fields, and the cows in the byres, and the dogs in the wet-nosed yards; and the cats nap in the slant corners or lope sly, streaking and needling, on the one cloud of the roofs.

You can hear the dew falling, and the hushed town breathing.

Only your eyes are unclosed to see the black and folded town fast, and slow, asleep.

And you alone can hear the invisible starfall, the darkest-before- dawn minutely dewgrazed stir of the black, dab-filled sea where the Arethusa, the Curlew and the Skylark, Zanzibar, Rhiannon, the Rover, the Cormorant, and the Star of Wales tilt and ride.

Listen. It is night moving in the streets, the processional salt slow musical wind in Coronation Street and Cockle Row, it is the grass growing on Llareggub Hill, dewfall, starfall, the sleep of birds in Milk Wood.

Listen. It is night in the chill, squat chapel, hymning in bonnet and brooch and bombazine black, butterfly choker and bootlace bow, coughing like nannygoats, suckling mintoes, fortywinking hallelujah; night in the four-ale, quiet as a domino; in Ocky Milkman's lofts like a mouse with gloves; in Dai Bread's bakery flying like black flour. It is to-night in Donkey Street, trotting silent, with seaweed on its hooves, along the cockled cobbles, past curtained fernpot, text and trinket, harmonium, holy dresser, watercolours done by hand, china dog and rosy tin teacaddy. It is night neddying among the snuggeries of babies."

>Proust so titillates my own desire for expression that I can hardly set out the sentence. Oh if I could write like that! I cry. And at the moment such is the astonishing vibration and saturation and intensification that he procures—there’s something sexual in it—that I feel I can write like that, and seize my pen and then I can’t write like that. Scarcely anyone so stimulates the nerves of language in me: it becomes an obsession. But I must return to Swann.
>My great adventure is really Proust. Well—what remains to be written after that? I’m only in the first volume, and there are, I suppose, faults to be found, but I am in a state of amazement; as if a miracle were being done before my eyes. How, at last, has someone solidified what has always escaped—and made it too into this beautiful and perfectly enduring substance? One has to put the book down and gasp. The pleasure becomes physical—like sun and wine and grapes and perfect serenity and intense vitality combined.
>Jacques Raverat...sent me a letter about Mrs Dalloway which gave me one of the happiest moments days of my life. I wonder if this time I have achieved something? Well, nothing anyhow compared with Proust, in whom I am embedded now. The thing about Proust is his combination of the utmost sensibility with the utmost tenacity. He searches out these butterfly shades to the last grain. He is as tough as catgut & as evanescent as a butterfly's bloom. And he will I suppose both influence me & make out of temper with every sentence of my own.

she was a discount Proust who wrote in discount French

All you gotta do to see seething is say you, as a whole, think modernism is shit and then explain how you aren’t against contemporary lit, specifically just modernism.
