Virginia Woolf
...quite the chilliest and least human known to me. You see brains floating like so many sea-anemones, nor have they shape or colour.
Virginia Woolf

Chiang Yee
In China our professional artists or craftsman used to carve large pieces of white ivory into models of famous buildings, such as the Peking Palace or the Temple of Heaven, with streets and people to the minutest detail. I have been fortunate enough to see a few of theses, and the snow-covered Oxford High, with its yellow stone, resembled one of these exquisite ivory carvings, yellowed with age. I was happy to have discovered such affinity between Oxford and Ancient China.
Chiang Yee, The Silent Traveller in Oxford
