[Vwoolf] Woolf Google doodle

[coruscate818]

In addition to *The Years, *falling leaves  also recur in *The Waves, *
especially in connection with Rhoda, e.g.:

"Rhoda, with whom I shared silence when the others spoke, she who hung back
and turned aside when the herd assembled and galloped with orderly, sleek
backs over the rich pastures, has gone now like the desert heat. When the
sun blisters the roofs of the city I think of her; when the dry leaves
patter to the ground; when the old men come with pointed sticks and pierce
little bits of paper as we pierced her--

O western wind, when wilt thou blow,
That the small rain down can rain?"
