<p>Hi Lorienne,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>It's meant to be <i>almost</i> unintelligible, ancient, evocative. J. Hillis Miller in "<i>Mrs. Dalloway</i>: Repetition as the Raising of the Dead" argues that the passage is derived from Richard Strauss's song "Allerseelen" with the words by Hermann von

<p>Miller provides a translation of the song, starting with the phrase <span>ee um
