Running Flames Sensual

More From D. H. Lawrence

Each person shines with his or her own light. no two flames are alike. there are big flames and little flames, flames of every color. some people’s flames are so still they don’t even flicker in the wind, while others have wild flames that fill the air with sparks. some foolish flames neither burn nor shed light, but others blaze with life so fiercely that you can’t look at them without blinking, and if you approach you shine in the fire.

Without feathers it isn't easy to fly: my wings have got no feathers. [lat., sine pennis volare hau facilest: meae alae pennas non habent.] [alt., flying without feathers is not easy; my wings have no feathers.]

Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old-fashioned kind of running away. that is, running away in the heat of anger with a knapsack on her pack. she didn't like discomfort; even picnics were untidy and inconvenient: all those insects and the sun melting the icing on the cupcakes. therefore, she decided that her leaving home would not be just running from somewhere but would be running to somewhere.

But tell me: how did gold get to be the highest value? because it is uncommon and useless and gleaming and gentle in its brilliance; it always gives itself. only as an image of the highest virtue did gold get to be the highest value. the giver's glance gleams like gold. a golden brilliance concludes peace between the moon and the sun. uncommon is the highest virtue and useless, it is gleaming and gentle in its brilliance: a gift-giving virtue is the highest virtue.

I asked my schoolmate mary to write a letter to me. she was funny and full of life. she liked to run around her empty house without any clothes on, even once she was too old for that. nothing embarrassed her. i admired that so much, because everything embarrassed me, and that hurt me. she loved to jump on her bed. she jumped on her bed for so many years that one afternoon, while i watched her jump, the seams burst. feathers filled the small room. our laughter kept the feathers in the air. i thought about birds. could they fly if there wasn’t someone, somewhere, laughing?
Running Hurt Laughter
A few days back someone sent me two feathers. two bird's feathers in a sheet of note-paper with a coronet, and fastened with a seal. sent from a place a long way off; from one who need not have sent them back at all. that amused me too, those devilish green feathers.

Conscience is the voice of the soul, the passions are the voice of the body. is it astonishing that often these two languages contradict each other, and then to which must we listen? too often reason deceives us; we have only too much acquired the right of refusing to listen to it; but conscience never deceives us; it is the true guide of man; it is to man what instinct is to the body; which follows it, obeys nature, and never is afraid of going astray.
