Elegant ladies at rest beside a pond (Louis Émile Adan, 1901)

No letter since you were careering through the snow in Westphalia – that is nothing since Monday. I hope this doesn’t mean you have been eaten by brigands, wrecked, torn to pieces. It makes me rather dismal. It gets worse steadily – your being away. All the sleeping draughts and irritants have worn off, and I’m settling down to wanting you, doggedly, dismally, faithfully – I hope that pleases you. It’s damned unpleasant for me. I can assure you.

(Virginia Woolfe. Letter to Vita Sackville-West. February 5th 1927.)
