[Katherine Mansfield] has an ugly impassive mask of a face—cut in wood, with brown hair and brown eyes very far apart; and a sharp and slightly vulgarly-fanciful intellect sitting behind it.

Lytton Strachey, in a 1916 letter to Virginia Woolf, describing the writer Katherine Mansfield, who had spoken enthusiastically to Strachey about Woolf’s The Voyage Out. The Bloomsbury group could be famously cruel about both themselves and outsiders. (via thebloomsburygroup)
