  1. Kew Gardens (short story)

    Image KewGardens.JPG thumb 1st 1919 edition Kew Gardens is a short story by the England English author Virginia Woolf . It was first published privately in 1919, then more widely in 1921 in the collection Monday or Tuesday , and subsequently in the posthumous collection A Haunted House 1944 . Originally accompanying illustrations by Vanessa Bell , its visual organisation has been described as analogous to a post impressionist painting. Plot summary Set in the Kew Gardens eponymous botanic garden in London on a hot July day, the narrative gives brief glimpses of four groups of people as they pass by a flowerbed. The story begins with a description of the oval shaped flowerbed. Woolf mixes the colours of the petals of the flowers, floating to the ground, with the seemingly random movements of the visitors, which she likens to the apparently irregular movements of butterflies. The first group to pass by are a married couple, and the man, called Simon, recalls his visit fifteen years earlier when he begged a girl called Lily to marry him, but was rejected. Again Woolf centres the apparent randomness of the decision on the flitting of a dragonfly, which if it stops would indicate that Lily would say yes , but instead it kept whirling around and around in the air. The woman who became Simon s wife, Eleanor, has a different memory of the gardens, a much earlier one, when she and other ... the focus pulls out beyond the gardens, contrasting the murmur of the city with the voices and colour of the gardens.
