A Beautiful Revelation...



What a beautiful revelation and an absolute delight to reconnect with the legend whilst on a walk today . D.H.Lawrence, the great poet, storywriter, playwright, painter, letter-writer, literary critic and philosopher lived in my neighbourhood 10 years ago !!! Studied his poems in school and read one of his novels, Women in Love few years ago - an arduous read that took me weeks to finish rather did I push myself through it ?
His art was atypical, edgy and not for everyone to comprehend. Revered as a visionary thinker and equally lauded for his contribution in reforming the English literature; he lived at this place and penned one of his controversial books - 'Sons and Lovers' .. — at 12, Colworth Road .
