The Waves. ( Fragment ) by Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

‘But if one day you do not come after breakfast, if one day I see you in some looking-glass perhaps looking after another, if the telephone buzzes and buzzes in your empty room, I shall then, after unspeakable anguish, I shall then — for there is no end to the folly of the human heart — seek another, find another, you. Meanwhile, let us abolish the ticking of time’s clock with one blow. Come closer.’
