... isolation, of feeling completely estranged from his environment, from the universe. To be in the universe yet feel no sense of belonging to it is a misery, or at least the boredom of a living death. D.H. Lawrence was thus right when he said that, "whoever can establish or initiate a new connection between mankind and the circumambient universe is, in his own degree, a saviour." 32 Wordsworth ...

... evolution, the intellect of man, despite all its flaws, has become the governing principle of life, and paradoxically managed to cripple it. Discarding this obsession with the Mind, what D.H. Lawrence called the "Cerebral Consciousness" in Page 382 favour of organic life does not appear to be a viable option. For indeed, we cannot recede into the past. As Sri... significant viewpoint that finds parallels in radically different artists as well. For instance, talking of the novel of the future, in his provocative essay "Surgery for the Novel or a Bomb", D.H. Lawrence said: If you wish to look into the past for what next books, you can go back to the Greek Philosophers. Plato's dialogues are queer little novels. It seems to me it was the greatest ...
... evolved conclusion. November 8, 1936 D.H. Lawrence says that one can only write creative stuff when it comes, otherwise it is not much good. In his own experience some sort of an urge—his daemon—has seized him, and he has created. Writing is a kind of passion to him—like kissing! All statements are subject to qualification. What Lawrence states is true in principle but in practice most... Exaggerated sensitiveness not necessary. Men of genius have generally a big ego—can't be helped, that. Lawrence is terrible that way. He says he doesn't write for "apes, dogs and asses", and yet when these asses criticise him, he goes mad! Of course—T weeps oceans if criticised, Lawrence goes red etc. It's the mark of the tribe. What about yourself in your pre-yogic days? I hear that James... say 10 years, 12 years, pooh! I thought you were honestly asking for the truth about inspiration according to Lawrence and effort; and I answered to that. I didn't know that it was connected purely with your personal reactions. You did not put it like that. You asked whether Lawrence's ideas were correct and I was obliged to point out that they were subject to qualification since both great and second ...
... ‘Templars’ George gathered around him comprised for him an unique kind of nobility and aristocracy of the spirit, not unlike that extolled a few years earlier by Nietzsche and a few years later by D.H. Lawrence … It was for this nobility, for the sources of their inspiration and for what they were expected to achieve, that the words ‘Secret Germany’ were first employed … George, unlike Nietzsche, did not ...
... to D.H. Lawrence's letters (850 pages presented to me by my Austrian Freundin Frau Rene Fülöp Miller) published by Aldous Huxley to come to—for this is a fascinating book though Lawrence suffered enormously. However from Lawrence's "absorbingly beautiful” letters, to quote Aldous Huxley I had one concrete corroboration: that the world of today is not worthwhile. To quote Lawrence, "1... So serenely "en avant!” Lawrence is waiting hopefully on the top of your book-case in front of me (I mean the one you presented to me) for his hour. June 1936 Please see this—on the right—form perfect as against its imperfect model. I feel Nishikanta's formal perfection does justify my faith in rhyme, rhythm, etc. as against Lawrence's in free verse unmetricality, eh... Page 101 Lawrence's however would say that the question is not between imperfect and perfect metrical work, but between metrical rhythm in poetry and poetry stripped bare of metre and presented with a bare elemental energy of language, vision and movement. Theory for theory it can stand, but in the practice and result the effects seem to me to be against Lawrence's theory. ...
