Subject: Autumn of the Mood
Subject: Autumn of the Mood
The Prussian Officer was the first story by D. H. Lawrence I’ve read and ever since I became his fervent aficionado for never before I have met an author so masterfully navigating the dark currents of human psyche…
Odour of Chrysanthemums is a real milestone in the description of a human mind in the state of the utter autumnal sadness…
It’s the mastery of limning imperceptible nuances and infinitesimal details of human behavior that in the end makes a writer grand.
Gradually the officer had become aware of his servant's young, vigorous, unconscious presence about him. He could not get away from the sense of the youth's person, while he was in attendance. It was like a warm flame upon the older man's tense, rigid body, that had become almost unliving, fixed. There was something so free and self-contained about him, and something in the young fellow's movement, that made the officer aware of him. And this irritated the Prussian. He did not choose to be touched into life by his servant. He might easily have changed his man, but he did not.
Odour of Chrysanthemums is a real milestone in the description of a human mind in the state of the utter autumnal sadness…
Then she lighted a candle and went into the tiny room. The air was cold and damp, but she could not make a fire, there was no fireplace. She set down the candle and looked round. The candle-light glittered on the lustre-glasses, on the two vases that held some of the pink chrysanthemums, and on the dark mahogany. There was a cold, deathly smell of chrysanthemums in the room. Elizabeth stood looking at the flowers.
It’s the mastery of limning imperceptible nuances and infinitesimal details of human behavior that in the end makes a writer grand.
