What is your best DH Lawrence sample?

Question

What passage, book, essay, poem is your favorite? Share why.

Answer 1

While I love his books, I also greatly appreciate it when a writer leaves behind a wealth of letters which let us inside a no-holds-barred view of their worlds. Such is The Selected Letters of D.H. Lawrence."

I particularly love this psychologically revealing passage:

"Because I really don't want to go to America; and am getting weary, and wearier, of the outside world. I want the world from the inside, not from the outside. Which doesn't mean, for me, killing desire and anger. Greed, lust, yes! But desire and anger are from God. Give me anything which is from God, desire or anger or communion of saints, or even hurts. But nothing any more of the dreariness or mechanism of man."
