What Woolfe willed
At the top of the stairs, I created what Woolfe willed for us all and rendered a closet a study.
It's a decadent redundancy in a house of desks but for 2 years my attentions have wandered. One desk: a long table jammed against a Staples-gray filing cabinet, gave the house's best view but placed me living room center court. View vs. tidying for every gathering and excusing the filing cabinet.
Now 4 walls contain me,
kitchen and dishes cannot tempt me,
laundry does not call me,
weeds no longer taunt me,
and my brain can lock-into a topic and file for longer than 10 minutes.
Within my new enclosed space - like a hotel business center it inspires me to rule the world by fax - I shall generate enormous thoughts and harness and explain them here. A room of one's own guarantees this.
