GOING PUBLIC 4.4.14 - "Moonrise," by D. H. Lawrence
...from "Look! We Have Come Through!"

You know, David Herbert and I have flirted with each other for 25 or so years now...I think it's time for a full-blown, messy affair, wouldn't you say? 

Lawrence penned a collection of poems, LOOK! WE HAVE COME THROUGH! that includes several of my favorite pieces. And I thought, what better way to run this affair than through the fictional, torrid affair he describes in this poetic journey. So each week, we'll do one or more of these, in order of their appearance in the collection. 

Let us begin then, shall we? 

Oh...I suppose a li'l bit of explanation of this collection would be best before we start in earnest, wouldn't it?

Lawrence wrote LOOK! WE HAVE COME THROUGH! not as a series of separate pieces collected into a single volume, but as a threaded story, a journey of sorts. Here are his thoughts from the Foreword and The Argument, that preface the collection:

"THESE poems should not be considered separately, as so many single pieces. They are intended as an essential story, or history, or confession, unfolding one from the other in organic development, the whole revealing the intrinsic experience of a man during the crisis of manhood, when he marries and comes into himself. The period covered is, roughly, the sixth lustre of a man's life. 

After much struggling and loss in love and in the world of man, the protagonist throws in his lot with a woman who is already married. Together they go into another country, she perforce leaving her children behind. The conflict of love and hate goes on between the man and the woman, and between these two and the world around them, till it reaches some sort of conclusion, they transcend into some condition of blessedness..."

So, without further fussing, here is the first in the collection..."Moonrise."
