Note: On March 28th, 1941, Virginia Woolf committed suicide by drowning herself in the River Ouse, at Rodwell, near Lewes, where she and her husband, Leonard Woolf, shared a residence in the English countryside. Three weeks later, her body was recovered washed ashore near a bridge in Southease, where some children made the gruesome discovery. The lines in italics are from Virginia Woolf’s The Waves.
