Writer, novelist, journalist, author of Pilgrimage.

My books are not narrative in the usual sense – maybe characterization and story are incidental to the effort to express life at first hand. Miriam’s story is her Pilgrimage, to be shared or not according to the disposition of the reader.

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.

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.
