<p>This is from "Modern Fiction". Text from the internet, so may not
be 100% accurate.</p>

<p><font color="#ff0000">Look within and life, it seems, is very far
from being “like this”. Examine for a moment an ordinary mind on
an ordinary day. The mind receives a myriad impressions —
trivial, fantastic, evanescent, or engraved with the sharpness
of steel. From all sides they come, an incessant shower of
innumerable atoms; and as they fall, as they shape themselves
into the life of Monday or Tuesday, the accent falls differently
from of old; the moment of importance came not here but there;
so that, if a writer were a free man and not a slave, if he
could write what he chose, not what he must, if he could base
his work upon his own feeling and not upon convention, there
would be no plot, no comedy, no tragedy, no love interest or
catastrophe in the accepted style, and perhaps not a single
button sewn on as the Bond Street tailors would have it.<br>

am trying to track down a Woolf quote that F.R. Leavis
includes in his 1941 essay, "After To the Lighthouse." It's a
well-known quote but still I can't find where it appeared
originally. Below is the pertinent part of the sentence in
which Leavis has embedded Woolf; her words are in quotes.
Where do these words appear, originally? My sincere thanks.</div>
