- D. H. Lawrence - 1885-1930
- Shall I tell you, then, how it is?
- There came a cloven gleam,
- Like a tongue of darkened flame,
- To burn in me.
- And so I seem
- To have you still the same
- In one world with me.
- In the flicker of a flower,
- In a worm that is blind, yet strives,
- In the mouse that pauses to listen,
- Glimmers our
- Shadow as well, and deprives
- Them none of their glisten.
- In each shaken morsel
- Our shadow trembles
- As if it rippled from out of us hand in hand.
- We are part and parcel
- In shadow, nothing dissembles
- Our darkened universe. You understand?
- For I have told you plainly how it is.
