Abstract

May 1917 [London] Virginia Woolf came to tea with me. She entered with such energy and vitality and seemed to me far the most imaginative and masterly intellect that I had met for many years. She played on life with her imagination as a Paderewski plays on the piano.1 I was dazzled by her.

From Ottoline at Garsington: Memoirs of Lady Ottoline Morrell 1915–1918, ed. Robert Gathorne-Hardy (London: Faber and Faber; New York: Knopf, 1975) pp. 179, 244–5.
