Over The Centuries, This Interpretation And Reinterpretation Creates A Long Chain Connecting A Writer To All Future Readers- Who Frequently Read Each Other As Well As The Original. Virginia Woolf Had A Beautiful Vision Of Generations Interlinked In This Way: Of How "minds Are Threaded Together- How Any Live Mind Is Of The Very Same Stuff As Plato's & Euripides ... It Is This Common Mind That Binds The Whole World Together; & All The World Is Mind." This Capacity For Living On Through Readers' Inner Worlds Over Long Periods Of History Is What Makes A Book Like The 'Essays' A True Classic. As It Is Reborn Differently In Each Mind, It Also Brings Those Minds Together.
