The Death of the Moth, By Virginia Woolf.

I love the description in this essay. The way she highlights the moths attributes. The way she describes so in depth the colors and the actions of the moth. She tells about how the birds are outside flying and how she compares regular moths tp the moth in her house. It is kind of sad how she tells about how the moth tries so hard to escape and resume his little life outside. How he keeps crashing into the window and finally, lays down and dies. He sort of gives up hopelessly. Like she says at the end, the moth finally lets death consume him. as if death was stronger than he was.
