Reading from the Waves
from Patti Smith Hosted by Patti Smith
Today is the anniversary of Virginia Woolf’s passing day. A day she chose for herself. In remembrance here are words from The Waves. Below is a Polaroid of her cane, which was found by the River Ouse where she took her life. It is a simple yet sturdy cane, that no doubt had served her well. I am also including the song Elegy from the 1975 album Horses. A song I wrote in memory of artists and loved ones we had lost. I have always believed that it is important that we the living honor the departed. Patti Smith is a reader-supported publication.
