Vita also calls me fish. And I reply (I think often while holding their hands, and getting exquisite pleasure from contact with either male or female body) ‘But what I want of you is illusion—to make the world dance.’” (<i>Letters</i> 4: 200) An amusing recontextualization.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Brenda Helt<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> vwoolf-bounces@lists.service.ohio-state.edu [mailto:vwoolf-bounces@lists.service.ohio-state.edu] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Mark Hussey<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, July 06, 2012 2:33 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'Neverow, Vara S.'; 'VWOOLF listserv'<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Vwoolf] Leonard and Virginia--100 years after their wedding<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Here we go round the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush . . .<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> <a href="mailto:vwoolf-bounces+mhussey=verizon.net@lists.service.ohio-state.edu">vwoolf-bounces+mhussey=verizon.net@lists.service.ohio-state.edu</a> <a href="mailto:[mailto:vwoolf-bounces+mhussey=verizon.net@lists.service.ohio-state.edu]">[mailto:vwoolf-bounces+mhussey=verizon.net@lists.service.ohio-state.edu]</a> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Neverow, Vara S.<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, July 06, 2012 12:31 PM<br><b>To:</b> VWOOLF listserv<br><b>Subject:</b> [Vwoolf] Leonard and Virginia--100 years after their wedding<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>Hi there,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>From the <i>Islington Tribune</i>, an article by Cecil Woolf's daughter on Leonard and Virginia and their wedding in 1912: <a href="http://www.islingtontribune.com/reviews/music/2012/jun/woolfs-wedding-writer-reveals-hot-not-dead-marriage-her-great-aunt-wanted">http://www.islingtontribune.com/reviews/music/2012/jun/woolfs-wedding-writer-reveals-hot-not-dead-marriage-her-great-aunt-wanted</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>Vara Neverow<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></body></html>
