D.H.LAWRENCE "Lady Chatterley's Lover"






GOD AND THE SEXUAL ACT
 
 
 "Yes, this was love, this ridiculous bouncing of the buttocks,
 
 and
 
the wilting op the poor, insignificant , moist little penis.
 
This was the divine love !
 
 After all, the moderns were right
 
when the felt contempt for the performance :
 
 for it was performance.
 
 It was quite true, as some poets said,
 
 that the God
 
who created man
 
must have had a sinister sense of humour,
 
 creating him a reasonable being,
 
yet forcing him to take
 
 this ridiculous posture
 
 and driving him with blind craving
 
for this humiliating  performance.
 
 Even a Maupassant found it a humiliating anti-climax." (p.170)
