What remains? Most of the sentence, and of course the crucial dash, which is the sveltest emblem possible of the license afforded to the sick, to the essayist, and to the sentence itself. “On Being Ill” contains one of Woolf’s boldest essayistic deviations
ideological thinking insists upon a ‘truer reality’, that is concealed behind the world of perceptible things.
Truth does not belong to anyone; it is the outcome of the scientific exchange of written ideas.
