As we have seen in other works, Virginia Woolf is a woman who has the time and intellect to reflect about anything that crosses her mind. This time she refers to the mark on a wall she is looking at while reading. She starts to describe every single detail which seems important to understand what is that mark and why it is there.
After some analysis, she tried to connect her train of thoughts with something related to this mark. It seems she never trust her sight because every time she looks at this mark, it changes.
What I believe she does is trying to see beyond her eyes. She sees with her eyes and with her mind at the same time. She connects every thought with her life, taking anything that surrounds her into part of her writing. This is one of the reasons why she prejudices what she sees based on her thoughts which stop her to see who makes the mark: a snail on the wall.
The best idea that I believe represents Virginia Woolf's works is the subjectivity in which the writer creates his/her work. Every single part of our life is worth it to be printed in a book and nobody has the power to say which experience is more important than another. Writing is an art, but we can all be artists.
