[Vwoolf] VWoolf quotes

[Adolphe Haberer]

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*)
