Well, this did send me back to the text of <i>To the Lighthouse</i>
to find the sequence where Lily praises Mr Ramsay's boots. The
novel is actually full of boots. There is an artist in Panama hat
and yellow boots, Mrs Ramsay reports that her husband would talk
by the hour about his boots, and Mr Bankes felt felt rigid and
barren, like a pair of boots that have been soaked and gone dry so
that you can hardly force your feet into them. A rough count in an
electronic text reveals that "boot" and its cognates occur 24
times in the novel. Is Van Gogh lurking somewhere in the text?<br>
