D. H. Lawrence
The mind has no existence by itself it is only the glitter of the sun on the surface of the waters.
D. H. Lawrence
And can a man his own quietus make with a bare bodkin?
D. H. Lawrence
The love between man and woman is the greatest and most complete passion the world will ever see, because it is dual, because it is of two opposing kinds.
D. H. Lawrence
Now it is autumn and the falling fruit and the long journey towards oblivion. The apples falling like great drops of dew to bruise themselves an exit from themselves.
D. H. Lawrence
O pity the dead that are dead, but cannot make the journey, still they moan and beat against the silvery adamant walls of life's exclusive city.
D. H. Lawrence
