Quote #7
How hot it was! So hot that even the thrush chose to hop, like a mechanical bird, in the shadow of the flowers, with long pauses between one movement and the next; instead of rambling vaguely the white butterflies danced on above another, making with their white shifting flakes the outline of a shattered marble column above the tallest flowers; the glass roofs of the palm house shone as if a whole market full of shiny green umbrellas had opened in the sun; and in the drone of the aeroplane the voice of the summer sun murmured its fierce soul.

If that scene doesn't inspire awe, it's hard to say what does. Woolf wants us to feel the amazement she seems to feel toward life in Kew Gardens. Minor details in the scene are awe-inspiring, but so is this vision of the whole. Compare this passage with the story's opening description. Do expressions of awe differ between the two? Do they remain similar?
