Explain Virginia Wolf remarks. The
earth we stand on is made of colors the colors can be blown out; and then we
stand on a dead leaf?
In her essay “The Eclipse” Virginia Woolf describes in a
highly dramatic manner a solar eclipse, probably the solar eclipse of June
29,1927 which was visible in England.
Before the rosining of the sun everything looked pale. The
river, farmhouse the fields and flowers were all pale, colorless. Then suddenly
the sun rose and trees turned green, and the villages blue
brown under the pale
blue sky. The sun began its usual march on the sky with patches of white clouds
but the mood was creeping up the horizon, and covered shining disk of the sun
all the colors vanished from the scene. The flesh and blood of the world was
gone, it became a strange skeleton, withered and dead.
What Virginia Woolf wishes to convey to the readers is that
the colors that give our world its beauty and splendor are the creation of
light, And the source of light is the sun it also provides the warmth that is
necessary for all life if the sunlight does not reach the earth, it would
wither and die
