I wish I were old and the whole damned thing were finished; then I shouldn't get this depressed feeling for nothing at all.

To buy a new cake of soap is to buy a fresh stretch of days. Its little weight, treasure, minutely heavy in the hand, is life, past and present and future compactly welded.

I have just been reading Millikan’s Science & Life & am still getting over shock of it, after several days. He’s the man who isolated the electron & banished immobility for good & all.

A long stop at the Bull Inn where ten charabancs were pulled up & all their feminine contents competing for one small upstairs lav. helped out by six half-full china slop-pails behind a screen in a bedroom with ever open door!

At the moment I’m re-reading Isaiah at tea-time. Have you read him lately? He is so current. But why oh why are all prophets so angry?

It's a shame that only Pointed Roofs has been translated into German so far. Pilgrimage is a literary stroke of luck for me. I think, I got there through Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield.

I stagger each morning to my feet. By the end of the morning I am beaten to my knees. By mid-afternoon, prone. Recover a little after tea & two pages Proust. Till supper I float detached – (except when there is an ear to be kept on a saucepan) – surrounded by pads, yellow envelopes.

Dorothy Richardson @dorothyrichardson.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

Feel very subdued & lost. Can’t get over Conrad’s death. It seems to bring the whole edifice of modern English literature down with a crash, his removal. That's wicked I know. It's simply that the outlines of what is now building aren’t yet visible.

Dorothy Richardson @dorothyrichardson.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

Of course you take your poetry seriously.

I'm through with psychanalysis ... all that now remains is a mass of facts at the service of us all. The theorem has gone phut. As all theorems must sooner or later.

Dorothy Richardson @dorothyrichardson.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

if one is to bemoan the fate of the London flowers, one must bewail the hard lot of the field blossoms, the struggle, between neighbours, for existence. I protest that it is through civilisation that man has discovered Nature, it is only historic man who has the power of becoming as a little child.

Dorothy Richardson @dorothyrichardson.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

The only connection I feel between V. Woolf & Jane Austen (& nearly all the lady writers, Eliot, Hobbes, Ward, Cholmondely, all I think except Charlotte [Brontë], is a certain snobbishness. Almost inevitable in Jane & detracting nothing from her supreme achievement.

The shock of July, of middle-age, is a threshold shock. A door is closing behind us and we turn sorrowfully to watch it close and do not discover, until we are wrenched away, the one opening ahead. 'Compensations?' Focus, July 1928

Road-coaching’s a queer business. Too engrossing, I think, driving about in the country instead of railing straight for a single destination, to be other than greatly fatiguing. Everything is seen at close quarters, so many incidents shared with so many people.

Personally, I believe that “intellectual distinction” is bought, very generally, at a high cost. My idea of an “intellectual” is a person who as a rule is rather lacking in intelligence: i.e. in balance between the rational & emotional faculties.

The child has ceased to be a born criminal, a subject for continuous repression and admonition, and is ceasing to be a toy adult, a person whose mind is small blank sheet upon with the enterprising elder may inscribe what he will.
