Furthermore, in "The Spinner and the Monks" essay,Lawrence describes an old woman spinning fleece at the terrace of San Tommaso. He indicates how she does not act self-consciously because in her universe he is a stranger. Lawrence insists that his lived life is the micro and his death is the macro, sending him to an all absorbing cosmos; although he distinguishes himself from the old woman, they are, inevitably at death, intimately connected. Fiona Becket, however, has written that this encounter between Lawrence and the old woman constitutes a condition of strangeness between physical and social spaces where there can be no genuine exchange since it is a "mismeeting". Lawrence as a travel writer with his intellectual superiority moves into physical space but not social space .There is emitted through Lawrence a reflective strangeness, a two-way tension the artistic travel writer exploits.
