“This noonday madness, where everything assumes a ‘fanatical existence’, where there is no shadow, is the briefest point of the day. Where there is sun there must be shadow, but the king-moment, at the high pause of the wheel, the sun turns everything to light. It is brief but it is true, or, if you prefer, it is true but it is brief. We all know this moment, in reality and as symbol. For a very short time we know it in our own bodies.”
—Jeanette Winterson for Virginia Woolf’s ‘The Waves’
