“[…], her eye was brooding but inevitable.”

— D.H. Lawrence, from ‘Women In Love’, first published in 1920.

“[…]. Pity to go anywhere on this good dark night. Pity to come out of it, really. Pity we can’t stop in the good darkness. It is better than anything ever would be—this good immediate darkness.”

— D.H. Lawrence, from ‘Women In Love’, first published in 1920.

Wild Things in Captivity

Wild things in captivity while they keep their own wild purity won't breed, they mope, they die.

All men are in captivity, active with captive activity, and the best won't breed, though they don't know why.

The great cage of our domesticity kills sex in a man, the simplicity of desire is distorted and twisted awry.

And so, with bitter perversity, gritting against the great adversity, the young ones copulate, hate it, and want to cry.

Sex is a state of grace. In a cage it can't take place. Break the cage then, start in and try.

We’ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.

Lady Chatterly’s Lover, D.H. Lawrence (b. 11 September 1885)
