D.H. Lawrence Birthday

❝ Men! The only animal in the world to fear!


❝ Life is a travelling to the edge of knowledge, then a leap taken. We cannot know beforehand. We are driven from behind, always as over the edge of the precipice.
It is a leap taken, into the beyond, as a lark leaps into the sky 
a fragment of earth which travels to be fused out, sublimated, 
in the shining of the heavens.
But it is not death.
