Virginia Woolf in London - 11 March, 1938
from The diary of Virginia Woolf. Vol.5, 1936-41, page 129:
Hitler has invaded Austria: that is at 10 last night his army crossed the frontier, unresisted. The Austrian national anthem was heard on the wireless for the last time. We got a snatch of dance music from Vienna. This fact, which combines with the Russian trials, like drops of dirty water mixing, puts its thorn into my morning:a pernickety one spent over notes.
