"The next morning I shall get up at dawn.
I shall let myself out by the kitchen door.
I shall walk on the moor.
I shall see the swallow skim the grass.
I shall throw myself on a bank by the river and watch the fish slip in and out among the reeds. The palms of my hands will be printed with pine-needles.
I shall there unfold and take out whatever it is I have made here; something hard.
For something has grown in me here, through the winters and summers, on staircases, in bedrooms.
Then my freedom with unfurl, and all these restrictions that wrinkle and shrivel - hours and order and discipline, and being here and there exactly at the right moment - will crack asunder."
* Virginia Woolf - The Waves
