[Vwoolf] Woolf's 1930 diary

[Sarah M. Hall]

 Dear Michael,
Saturday 8 November entry is in vol. 3 of the Diary, pp. 329 to 332:

'pressed his hand' is p. 329'Lycidas' is on p. 330'Yeats said he could not get satisfaction from Milton' is also p. 330
Page numbers are from the Penguin edition of 1982, which I believe has the same pagination as Hogarth Press 1980. (Someone on here is bound to have the HP edition, if you want to verify this.) It's an interesting entry, mostly about meeting Yeats at Ottoline's 'last night', and their conversation about art and literature. At the end of the entry is V's surprisingly unsympathetic view of T. S. Eliot's wife Vivienne: 'This bag of ferrets is what Tom wears round his neck' (p. 331).

All the best,
Sarah

  Dear international Woolf community 
Anyone who has access to the third volume of Woolf's diary number, I am looking for some page numbers. On the 8th November, 1930, Woolf mentions meeting Yeats at Ottoline Morrell's party. She writes that she 'pressed his hand' and told him her view of 'Lycidas' to which Milton said: 'he could not get satisfaction from Milton.' These statements might be on the same page or across two or three pages. 
many thanks in advance
