“Now you can begin to see quite transparently that nothing purchased life is one of argument, If other people don’t agree with you you’re in big trouble. How far would you get in your work if nobody agreed that what you were doing had value?”

Come not with kisses
not with caresses
of hands and lips and murmurings;
come with a hiss of wings
and sea-touch tip of a beak
antr treading of wet, webbed, wave-working feet
into the marsh-soft belly.
DH. LAWRENCE (1885-1930)
Leda, 1865-1875
