墙上的斑点（英文原版）The Mark on the Wall

意识流小说代表作家伍尔夫的作品，想当初在大学时期第一本精读的小说就是它，如今十多年过去了，再读，依旧觉得很难读。但不是说写得不好，而是作家对文字的处理方式，表达方式以及各种意向的交织，这种写法对一个非母语的人阅读来说并不友好。

I like to think of…

高中时候特别喜欢这篇，现在看原文也很好看\(//∇//)\

I loved that Woolf gives us the freedom to think without obligation. To stare at a wall, and see the entire universe behind it. What struck me most was the raw subjectivity of perception. We only see the world through our own shifting lens. Oh! dear me, the mystery of life; The inaccuracy of thought! The ignorance of humanity! Woolf's experiment of psychological realism felt both liberating and unsettling, as it celebrates the freedom of interiority while exposing the inescapable chaos of the world outside & inside the mind. The notion of thought, as Woolf suggests, can become a spiral, disconnected from action. I found that so relatable. Interestingly, the "full stop" becomes the text's, as well as our thoughts' ironic admission that reality will always intrude. Still, there's no harm in putting a full stop to one's disagreeable thoughts by looking at a mark on the wall. Wow
