<div dir="ltr">Me neith... as the kidz say. I agree with Mark. I had no trouble understanding the passage, although I was unsure, for a moment, of what was being implied by the "limpid clarity" remark or the dig at Derridean readers of Woolf. But, you know, I'm on lockdown now, with wayyyyyy too much time on my hands, so I may just crack open that Deconstructionist reading of Woolf.
