Abstract

D. H. Lawrence
Muir, Edwin | February 11, 1925 issue

add to cart   close window

Author D.H. Lawrence's most obviously striking quality as a writer is a kind of splendor, not of the spirit, nor of the mind, but of the senses and the instincts. His spirit is exalted only when it takes fire from his senses, his mind follows the fluctuations of his desires, intellectualizing them, not operating in its own right. But his senses can be set alight by anything natural. His novels produce always a double impression-of a breaking through, and of an imprisonment in the strange and beautiful, but subterranean, realm to which he has broken through. Nature he comprehends mainly through identification, mankind he comprehends almost as much by repulsion.
