we are without our astonishing gift for illusion. At the age of twelve or so,
having given up dolls and broken our steam engines, France, but much more
probably Italy, and India almost for a certainty, draws the superfluous
imagination. One’s aunts have been to Rome; and every one has an uncle who was
last heard of—poor man—in Rangoon. He will never come back any more. But it is
the governesses who start the Greek myth. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

please help me find the chapter and verse for an obiter dictum by VW that I have
cherished for long which goes something like: "Both India and Italy exercise the
superfluous imagination." My supervisor Frank Bradbrook used to say that
VW sent her characters off to India to get them out of the way for a while or to
die. And of course there aren't too many of those either. </DIV>
