  • And life is for delight, and bliss
    like now when the white sun kisses the sea
    and plays with the wavelets like a panther playing with its cubs
    cuffing them with soft paws,
    and blows that are caresses,
    kisses of the soft-balled paws, where the talons are.


    And life is for dread,
    for doom that darkens, and the Sunderers
    that sunder us from each other,
    that strip us and destroy us and break us down
    as the tall foxgloves and the mulleins and mallows
    torn down by dismembering autumn
    till not a vestige is left, and black winter has no trace
    of any such flowers;
    and yet the roots below the blackness are intact:
    the Thunderers and the Sunderers have their term,
    their limit, their thus far and no further.


    - D.H. Lawrence
