Subject: Re: [Vwoolf] A Woolf quotation? Probably not... Regarding that specific (and very slippery) misquotation about the Bloomsberries and squares and triangles and so forth, it's worth a glance at “squares where all the couples are triangles” by Stuart N. Clarke in Issue 92 of theVirginia Woolf Miscellany on page 38: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://virginiawoolfmiscellany.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/vwm92fall2017winter20181.pdf__;!!KGKeukY!xAWpW1yHQGK9plXMrNOKGrtXqje537pR8wc_WB11ylX0UZ7vfny4vsrFPI8nG4eHdTzXMIGL1j7WaFCs5fxve3h-$
