<DIV>“For some reason or another, the end of a man’s life seems naturally to
afford the light by which the rest of it should be read; last thoughts do appear
in some strange way to be really best and truest; and this is particularly the
case when they fit in nicely with the rest of the story, and are, perhaps, just
what one likes to think oneself.”</DIV>

<P class=ydp7482cdd7yiv6031450521MsoNormal>It's disturbing to see NYPL's focus
for this curio remains on Woolf's suicide, not her life in general, or her
contribution to society. No doubt that cane took many other journeys with its
user, but the final one is the only one that seems to matter. Their propensity
for titillation over context is especially evident, given the curator's claim
that these objects express some kind of exceptional knowledge of the person who
owned them. I'm not entirely sure how that's supposed to work. </P></DIV></DIV>
