"[he] belonged, even at the age of six, to that great clan which cannot keep this feeling separate from that, but must let future prospects, with their joys and sorrows, cloud what is actually at hand, since to such people even in earliest childhood any turn in the wheel of sensation has the power to crystallise and transfix the moment upon which its gloom or radiance rests . . . for him, the passage to that fabled land where our brightest hopes are extinguished, our frail barks founder in darkness."
-V. Woolf, 1927
