A Little Happier: A Beautiful Ending & the Final Passage of Queen Victoria

A Little Happier: A Beautiful Ending & the Final Passage of Queen Victoria

As a writer, I'm particularly drawn to great endings, and I read the extraordinary closing paragraphs of Lytton Strachey’s biography Queen Victoria. Strachey imagines Victoria's fading mind retracing the vanished visions of her long history—passing back through decades of memories in a poignant, poetic cascade that captures both the end of a life and the end of an era.
