In 'A Sketch of the Past' we find some peculiar experiences Woolf had as a child during her stay at St Ives. Of the moments of being three exceptional instances seem to have had significant influences on her. Writing them down for the first time she says she realized that though two of them ended in a state of despair, the second ended, on the contrary, in a state of satisfaction. In Tola Notebook' Joyce also places satisfaction at the last stage of apprehension. Somehow Woolf's experiences and activities such as apprehending an object as a whole, to restore the order by putting the severed parts together or feeling pleasure at the end, seem to illustrate Stephen's aesthetics in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Joyce never uses the term 'epiphany' in A Portrait. For the supreme moment he borrowed phrases such as Shelley's 'fading coal' or Luigi Galvani's 'enchantment of heart'. These phrases suggest that some incandescence or fusion took place in Stephen's heart. In a state of rapture Woolf also experiences incandescence which made her feel warm, producing a state of synaesthesia. In "Impressions at Bayreuth" she depicts how Wagner's opera Parsifal lifted her out of the ordinary world and produced in her an aesthetic whole in which the opera and the outer world were fused into one. While writing Ulysses Joyce tried to give the colour and tone of Dublin with his words. Mrs. Dalloway is often considered to be its counterpart. But before the publication of Ulysses Woolf's draft of "Kew Gardens" was completed. It was her first trial to make an aesthetic whole with the texture of her words.
