D. H. Lawrence Quotes About Moon

Quotes about: Moon

• The cosmos is a vast living body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great nerve center from which we quiver forever. Who knows the power that Saturn has over us, or Venus? But it is a vital power, rippling exquisitely through us all the time.

  D. H. Lawrence

  Running, Heart, Moon

• He who gets nearer the sun is leader, the aristocrat of aristocrats, or he who, like Dostoevsky, gets nearest the moon of our non-being.

  D. H. Lawrence

  Moon, Leader, Sun

• The Moon is a white strange world, great, white, soft-seeming globe in the night sky, and what she actually communicates to me across space I shall never fully know. But the Moon that pulls the tides, and the Moon that controls the menstrual periods of women, and the Moon that touches the lunatics, she is not the mere dead lump of the astronomist. . . . When we describe the Moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. When we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness.

  D. H. Lawrence

  Moon, Night, Sky

  D. H. Lawrence (1966). “Selected Poems of D.h. Lawrence”, Penguin (Non-Classics)

• If I were the moon, I know where I would fall down.

  D. H. Lawrence

  Fall, Moon, Knows

  D. H. Lawrence (1995). “The Rainbow”, p.300, Wordsworth Editions

• Ah, then, upon my bedroom I do draw
  The blind to hide the garden, where the moon
  Enjoys the open blossoms as they straw
  Their beauty for his taking, boon for boon.
  
  And I do lift my aching arms to you,
  And I do lift my anguished, avid breast,
  And I do weep for very pain of you,
  And fling myself at the doors of sleep, for rest.

  D. H. Lawrence

  Love, Pain, Sleep

  D.H. Lawrence (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of D.H. Lawrence (Illustrated)”, p.6178, Delphi Classics

• There is an eternal vital correspondence between our blood and the sun: there is an eternal vital correspondence between our nerves and the moon. If we get out of contact and harmony with the sun and moon, then both turn into great dragons of destruction against us.

  D. H. Lawrence

  Moon, Dragons, Blood

  D. H. Lawrence, Mara Kalnins (2002). “Apocalypse and the Writings on Revelation”, p.77, Cambridge University Press

• The Moon! Artemis! the great goddess of the splendid past of men! Are you going to tell me she is a dead lump?

  D. H. Lawrence

  Past, Moon, Men
