The voyage out

The Voyage Out is the first novel by Virginia Woolf, published in 1915. The story follows Rachel Vinrace, a young woman who embarks on a sea voyage from England to a fictional South American country. The journey serves as a backdrop for her exploration of personal identity, relationships, and the constraints of Edwardian society. The narrative delves into themes of introspection, the nature of consciousness, and the challenges of female autonomy, set against the evolving social norms of the early 20th century. more

“But beyond any biological information, there is love. Something that defies all science and reason. And that I am most fortunate to have been given. It maybe the most defining factor in anyone’s life. Surely an artist greatest muse. And there is no love like a mother’s love. It is life’s greatest song. We are all indebted to the women who has given us life. For without them, there would be no music.”

“You speak the language of the stars What should I say, that you won't know? You see my Soul, my Heart - by far You are the closest, you're my own. What would you have me do, I ask? Get off your knees. Arise, arise! Throw all away, the chain, the mask, Become full spectrum in the skies. Lose your head, your careful pride, Lose your steps to holy rhythms Lose your need to choose a side This and that and why - forgiven. There's no "Why" when music plays, Oh sweet heavens! Where 've you been? Close your eyes, my lover says, Look within, within, within!”
