Virginia Woolf in Queen's Hall - 3 March, 1935
from The diary of Virginia Woolf, page 284:
Yesterday I did not enjoy. What a guzzler old Ethel has become. [...] And then the concert. How long how little music in it that I enjoyed! Beecham's face beaming, ecstatic, like a yellow copper idol: such grimaces, attentuations, dancings, swingings: his collar crumpled.
