Now the bombs drop around our feet,
do we throw them back
or bow and greet them
Virginia Woolf was a pacifist I do believe and this could be a reference to her frustration/confusion to the war which occurred in 'To The Lighthouse'.
I'm sorry, but I don't belive that Virginia Woolf was not a pascifist. A lot of people don't actually realise how venomous her most secret diaries were. As a modernist she had a stinging hate for the lower classes and thought them to be worthless. She was part of the Bloomsbury group which, whilst an amazing literary group in itself, held fascist views against those who were not part of the intelligentsia. This view, along with modernism to a large part, died with WWII in which they were forced to realise the horror of fascism.

I'm not trying to sound smart hear, or give a lesson or anything like that. I just think it's important to know how centrally this book revolves around the ideas of modernism.
