by Virginia Woolf (1882 - 1941)
Winter’s Evening
Language: English
Never are voices so beautiful as on a winter's evening, when dusk almost hides the body, and they seem to issue from nothingness with a note of intimacy seldom heard by day. I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river, fo me you are everything that exists; the reality of everything.
