Myself being myself

 

"How much better is silence;

The coffee cup, the table.

How much better to sit by myself like the solitary seabird that opens

Its wings on the stake.

Let me sit here forever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork,

things in themselves, myself being myself."

Virgínia Woolf, in The waves
