review 1: "The Mark on the wall" the simplest title I've ever come across YET...Yet...yet..THE philosophies in this short story have burned every damn grey cell in an attempt to understand what's between the lines.I give stars only to books i do fully understand so i can judge and criticize which i cannot do for such a piece.the only thing i was able to grasp had amazed me which is how this author could capture perfectly the swarming thoughts in a wandering-mind and spill them in an ORIGINAL work that proves her uniqueness.This short piece have implications that are extremely hard to understand unless you did fully understand characteristics of modernism.creative.....original.....piece.
review 2: "How readily our thoughts swarm upon a new object, lifting it a little way... more, as ants carry a blade of straw so feverishly, and then leave it. ..." (Long ago) I used to find Woolf's sentences too long and hard to understand. So I had to give up reading some of her novels. I knew that it wasn't over though, it could not be. Now after reading this brilliant story without any regret or boredom, I can sense that it's my time to fall in love with her. Loong sentences, lots of ideas between, a great deal of commas around.. they all seemed in a great harmony to me this time. I wanted to quote something, note it somewhere but couldn't prefer anything to another (I could come up with the one above, for now)Surely I still have lots to grab from her works... Happy to be a part of her fans.If you don't/didn't like her works, maybe you still need time like I needed. Don't have any bias. She is good.I am not giving you anything from the story. Just read it! less
