Xiao, Qian. Wei dai di tu de lü ren [ID D20278].
[Leonard Woolf spent a weekend with Xiao Qian in October 1943].
In the evening he [Leonard] brought out a stack of Virginia's diaries and let me copy from them. Early in the next morning, we went together with heavy hearts to the little brook where she had taken her life. I stood there on the bank, wanting to rebuke the gurgling waters. Then I felt perhaps I was wrong. The brook was just going endlessly on its way. Maybe it had simply relieved another transparent and from further torment.
