The Waves

The Waves 

 Yet there are moments when the walls of the mind grow

 thin; when nothing is unabsorbed, and I could fancy that

 we might blow so vast a bubble that the sun might take

 the blue of midday and the black of midnight and be cast

 off and escape from here and now.

VIRGINIA WOOLF

 This comes from a prose passage by VIRGINIA WOOLF.

It appears in her novel "The Waves" a highly poetic and experimental work quoted for its lyrical style.

The full excerpt is often shared because of its meditative,

philosophical beauty.

The full passage is spoken by by the character Bernard.

these lines show Bernard's reflection on consciousness and reality.

It represents the moments where inner thoughts blur the line

 between self and world.

The " Walls of the mind growing thin" suggests a state of 

deep connection or transcendence, a heightened awareness

 when boundaries dissolve.

It is typical of Virginia woolf's stream-of-consciousness 

style in The Waves, where each character voices their inner

 life in lyrical monologues.
