Fear no more, says the heart in the body

He was not afraid. At every moment Nature signified by some laughing hint like that gold spot which went round the wall--there,there,there--her determination to show, by brandishing her plumes, shaking her tresses, flinging her mantle this way and that, beautifully, always beautifully, and standing close up to breathe through her hollowed hands Shakespeare's words, her meaning.

-Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway
