The Legend of Q
: Based on a lead by my friend Michael Anne Haywood, the original "q" quote, concerning Mr. Ramsay, from Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse:
For if thought is like the keyboard of a piano, divided into so many notes, or like the alphabet is ranged in twenty-six letters all in order, then his splendid mind had no sort of difficulty in running over those letters one by one, firmly and accurately, until it had reached, say, the letter Q. He reached Q. Very few people in the whole of England ever reach Q. ... But after Q? What comes next? After Q there are a number of letters the last of which is scarcely visible to mortal eyes, but glimmers red in the distance. Z is only reached once by one man in a generation. Still, if he could reach R it would be something. Here at least was Q. He dug his heels in at Q. Q he was sure of. Q he could demonstrate. If Q then is Q--R-- ... Then R... ... R is then--what is R ... ... He would never reach R. ... How many men in a thousand million, he asked himself, reach Z after all?
