I wish to add another two quotes:
"Listless is the air in an empty room, just
swelling the curtain; the flowers in the jar
shift. One fibre in the wicker arm-chair creaks,
though no one sits there." (*Jacob's Room*,
chapter III, repeated in chapter XIV)
"Empty, empty, empty; silent, silent, silent. The
room was a shell, singing of what was before time
was; a vase stood in the heart of the house,
alabaster, smooth, cold, holding the still,
distilled essence of emptiness, silence."
(*Between the Acts*)
