ほう、Henri Bergson の考え方って、面白いですね。さっそく僕も手元の紙の資料を見てみましたが、
あまりいいものは見つかりませんでした。ネット上では、次のものが見つかりました。ここに書きだして
みます。

To do this she developed a contrast beteween what she called "moments
of being" and "moments of non-being." According to Woolf, the latter
constitute the vast majority of our life; she referred to living in this
state as being like "cotton wool" ("A Sketch," 84), something that muffles
the senses and prevents a feeling of being alive, Moments of being are
much rarer, said Woolf, and also much more valuable. During these
brief moments one becomes alive: aware of one's immediate surroundings
and also aware of one's place in history. As Woolf describes the moment, "It is a
token of some real thing behind appearances; and I make it real by putting it into
words. It is only by putting it into words that I make it whole; ... it gives me, ...
a great delight to put the severed parts together" ("A Sketch," 84). These brief
moments appear to arrest the flow of time, but they also bring about a conflation
of times as each individual moment is related to previous moments that are
resurrected almost instantaneously.

（その2）
Far from being a moment out of time, Woolf's moments of being are instances of pure
duration, moments during which past and present time not only literally coexist, but
during which one is aware of their coexistence. In a Bergsonian sense, these are
moments of pure duree. They are moments when we leave l'etendu and enter into an
intuitive relationship with the essence of ourselves or those things that spark
the moment. By penetrating to the level of duree, Woolf seeks to depict life as it
occurs on a temporal, rather than spatial, level.

このあともずっと議論が続きます。この本も面白そうですが、これを読む前に僕はまず
ここに出てくる Virginia Woolf の書いた "A Sketch" つまり "A Sketch of the Past" と
いう評論を読みたいと思いますが、ネット上ではまだ読めないようです。この評論は、
"Moments of Being" という評論集（http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moments_of_Being）
に収められたものなので、さっそくその評論集を注文しました。Virginia Woolf の評論集
はいろいろと買いこんで、すべてを網羅したつもりだったのに、これは漏れていました。
その評論集が手元に届いたら、さっそく拾い読みだけでもいいからしたいと思います。
この評論集は、とても面白いみたいです。
