Friday Poetry: D. H. Lawrence

Happy Friday!

I have had a super busy day with my Etsy business and I am looking forward to the weekend.

My chosen poem this week is by David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) who was an English writer and poet.

Escape

When we get out of the glass bottles of our own ego,
and when we escape like squirrels from turning in the 
cages of our personality
and get into the forest again, 
we shall shiver with cold and fright
but things will happen to us
so that we don't know ourselves. 

Cool, unlying life will rush in,
and passion will make our bodies taut with power,
we shall stamp our feet with new power
and old things will fall down,
we shall laugh, and institutions will curl up like burnt
paper.

D. H. Lawrence
