supervisor would have been delighted to have confirmation from VW herself that
the British never came back from Rangoon! Unlike Kipling's sailor who
yearns to go back to Mandalay, if not quite to Rangoon. And those aunts belong
to Forster, presumably. <br></div>

much worse off than 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.

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>
