[Vwoolf] Help with a quote

[stringsOf Light]

I doubt this is from Anon but of course I can’t  be 100 % sure.
If this helps at all (in case you haven’t already considered it), what other text is surrounding that quote (is on the same page), or what text is on the previous page or the next one, and where does that text come from?
I can’t imagine you writing only that quote on the day you were researching at Berg’s.

In case you figure it out, do let us know. I’m curious just as you are.

Dear Woolf scholars



I wonder if anyone can help me. I’m pretty sure I wrote the following quote down in the Berg, when I was looking at drafts of Anon/The Reader…



'The old clothes in the museums are an attempt at saying something: sharing[stating?] something – [making?] some view of life which is foreign and distant perhaps: an affirmation – '



… But now I find that my notebook is not categorical about the where and what.



I can’t find the quote in Brenda Silver’s edition, and I’m just wondering if it rings any bells with anyone here.



Thanks so much



Sophie
