regularly across the waves first two quick strokes and then one long steady
stroke, was the light of the Lighthouse. It had been lit’ (98). ‘The first
lighting apparatus for Godrevy [had] a four-wick lamp and a clockwork revolving
mechanism. [. . .] The light made a full revolution in four minutes, showing a
white flash every 10 seconds, visible at a distance given variably as 15, 16 or
17 miles.’ When it was converted to an unmanned operation in 1934, ‘the new
light was a faint glimmer in contrast to the bold flashing white beam which
first shone forth from Godrevy in 1859’ (<SPAN

quirky question if I may. I am a keen long distance sailor and was intrigued by
VW's light characteristic of the lighthouse as two short and one long.
This is the sequence for morse "U". In seafaring terms the flag "U" or the light
sequence "U" means "You are sailing into danger". Most off-shore oil/gas
platforms and wind turbines all flash Morse "U".<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Verdana","sans-serif"; COLOR: black'>I
cannot think of any lighthouse in the UK with this sequence and so checked the
actual light sequence on the lighthouse in north Cornwall that VW visited in
the 1890's. It originally flashed once every 10 seconds and then in later
years had a red light attached to it. The lighthouse is now
disused.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Verdana","sans-serif"; COLOR: black'>So,
it seems, possibly, that VW intentionally used two short and one long.Has there
been any scholarly debate on why she used that particular light
characteristic?"<BR><BR>**<BR><BR>Another question from a student in my Woolf
class this term. Again, if you could send your reply to me as well as the
list I'd appreciate it. Brenda<BR><BR>"The Irish writer whom I am

have 2 questions. Had VW read Gautier's novel or any of of his other works which
presumably spell out his thoughts on beauty being loved independently of sex,
and for its own sake? Second question, Susanne R Day was heavily involved with
the suffragist movement in Ireland and London from 1909 onwards.Within that
suffragist/suffragette milieu would an author like Gautier have been topical or
required reading? "<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
