Last week in class we kept coming back to the way impressionistic paintings capture a moment in time and space, but also try and mimic the movement of the scene. While reading "Time Passes," I kept coming back to this melding of the temporal and spacial, as I was struck by how Woolf furthers said melding which she started in "The Window." This section functions as almost an inverse of the other two, compressing time rather than prolonging it. "Time Passes" felt like watching time-lapsed footage of the cottage being reclaimed by nature while the Ramsays and Lily Brescoe were away dealing with the war. I also think this section is a wonderful encapsulation of the unceasing continuation of the natural world Brittain was wrestling with. Woolf further emphasizes this forward march of time by having traumatic moments of the war burst through, but quickly get swept away by the progression of the world around them. It almost creates the feeling that the Ramsays and Lily exist in a temporality entirely apart from the one being described to the reader by Woolf, due to Woolf's use of brackets, parentheticals and future tense between Chapters 1 and 10, making their distance a product of the war.
