| Evidence: | 'Hugh Walpole's The Apple Tree, a volume of reminiscences, was published for Christmas
1932. The first words of the book are: "There is a fearful passage in Virginia Woolf's beautiful
and mysterious book The Waves, which when I read it, gave me an acute shock of
unanticipated reminiscence." He then quotes a long passage in which he found his title: "The
apple-tree leaves became fixed in the sky; the moon glared."'
