Septimus speak

The way Woolf writes Septimus' thoughts is absolutely fascinating I think. We had a discussion about the passage where he is in the street watching the plane write in the sky but we kind of got cut off by the bell and so I want to go a little further about the way Septimus thinks here.
Septimus' thoughts materialize into words as a sort of poetry, which is a reflection of the old poetic Septimus. There is a difference in the poetry of his mind after the words because, rather that being passionate and emotional, it is almost creepily without emotion. Don't get me wrong though, His poetry is really vibrant and alive but it honestly just feels like beautiful, emotionally empty metaphors. It is almost like Septimus himself, who is in the prime of life, yet cannot feel. I was talking about Mrs. Dalloway on the phone one night with Joey and we got talking about Septimus. A theory I posed was that Septimus turns everything into a metaphor to try to attempt to synthetically create emotion using words. Judging from his fear at not being able to feel, Septimus knows what emotions he should be feeling but just lacks the emotion and thus the metaphors and vibrance of his minds is a product of him trying too hard to feel something.
Another theory we talked about was that Septimus uses poetry to revert to his mind before the war and escape from his current reality into the delusion he could create through poetry
before the war.
One more theory, just to share, is that because he has difficulty communicating, Septimus' thoughts appear to us as poetic because he is using the formula and conventions of poetry to facilitate his communication.
Just some thoughts.
