The character of Mrs Ramsay makes me think of my grandmothers, both of whom are still alive. They are not also devoted to their husbands and families, but also ready to help when necessary and without waiting anything as a reward. Giving, giving and giving seem to be the only action they think about. I am absolutely convinced that when they will no longer be physically present, I will be able to understand Lily Briscoe's mourning feelings towards Mrs Ramsay' death.
Deeply felt comment, though somewhat short ...
ReplyDeleteNB: not only...but also; expect vs wait for; no future tenses after temporals; either "mourning" or "feelings" (not the two nouns together)
