(Cover designs by Vanessa Bell)


"[T]he truth they try to catch is many-sided, and they convey it by being themselves many-sided, flashing this way, then that. Thus they mean one thing to one person, another thing to another person.... And it is because of this complexity that they survive."

- From Virginia Woolf's  "Craftsmanship"
