What True-Bred City Sportsman Has Not In His Day Put Off The Most Urgent
Business--Perhaps His Marriage, Or Even The Interment Of His Rib--That
He Might "Brave The Morn" With That Renowned Pack, The Surrey
Subscription Foxhounds? Lives There, We Would Ask, A Thoroughbred,
Prime, Bang-Up, Slap-Dash, Break-Neck, Out-And-Out Artist, Within Three
Miles Of The Monument, Who Has Not Occasionally "Gone A Good 'Un" With
This Celebrated Pack? And Shall We, The Bard Of Eastcheap, Born All
Deeds Of Daring To Record, Shall We, Who So Oft Have Witnessed--Nay,
Shared--The Hardy Exploits Of Our Fellow-Cits, Shall We Sit Still, And
Never Cease The Eternal Twirl Of Our Dexter Around Our Sinister Thumb,
While Other Scribes Hand Down To Future Ages The Paltry Feats Of
Beardless Meltonians, And Try To Shame Old Father Thames Himself With
Muddy Whissendine'S Foul Stream? Away! Thou Vampire, Indolence, That
Suckest The Marrow Of Imagination, And Fattenest On The Cream Of Idea
Ere Yet It Float On The Milk Of Reflection. [mehr]

"I Suppose You Never Have Such Nights As These In that Misty Island Of
Yours, Francisco?"
"Yes, We Have," The Other Said Stoutly. "I Have Seen Just As Bright
Nights On The Thames. I Have Stood Down By Paul'S Stairs And Watched
The Reflection Of The Moon On The Water, And The Lights Of The Houses
On The Bridge, And The Passing boats, Just As We Are Doing now.
"But," He Added honestly, "I Must Confess That We Do Not Have Such
Still, Bright Nights Very Often, While With You They Are The Rule,
Though Sometimes Even Here A Mist Rises Up And Dims The Water, Just As
It Does With Us."
"But I Have Heard You Say That The Stars Are Not So Bright As We Have
Them Here."
"No, I Do Not Think They Are, Matteo. I Do Not Remember Now, But I Do
Know, When I First Came Here, I Was Struck With The Brightness Of The
Stars, So I Suppose There Must Have Been A Difference."
"But You Like This Better Than England? You Are Glad That Your Father
Came Out Here?"
Francis Hammond Did Not Answer At Once. [mehr]

If The Past Increase And Present Amount Of Crime In The British
Islands Be Alone Considered, It Must Afford Grounds For The Most
Melancholy Forebodings. When We Recollect That Since The Year 1805,
That Is, During A Period Of Less Than Forty Years, In The Course Of
Which Population Has Advanced About Sixty-Five _Per Cent_ In Great
Britain And Ireland, Crime In England Has Increased Seven Hundred Per
Cent, In Ireland About Eight Hundred Per Cent, And In Scotland Above
_Three Thousand Six Hundred Per Cent_;[1] It Is Difficult To Say What
Is Destined To Be The Ultimate Fate Of A Country In Which The
Progress Of Wickedness Is So Much More Rapid Than The Increase Of The
Numbers Of The People. Nor Is The Alarming Nature Of The Prospect
Diminished By The Reflection, That This Astonishing Increase In Human
Depravity Has Taken Place During A Period Of Unexampled Prosperity
And Unprecedented Progress, During Which The Produce Of The National
Industry Had Tripled, And The Labours Of The Husbandman Kept Pace
With The Vast Increase In The Population They Were To Feed--In Which
The British Empire Carried Its Victorious Arms Into Every Quarter Of
The Globe, And Colonies Sprang Up On All Sides With Unheard-Of
Rapidity--In Which A Hundred Thousand Emigrants Came Ultimately To
Migrate Every Year From The Parent State Into The New Regions
Conquered By Its Arms, Or Discovered By Its Adventure. If This Is The
Progress Of Crime During The Days Of Its Prosperity, What Is It [mehr]

An Old English Divine Fancied that All The World Might Go Mad And Nobody
Know It. The Conception Suggests A Query Whether The Standard Of Sanity,
As Of Fashions And Prices, Be Not A Purely Artificial One, An Accident
Of Convention, A Law Of Society, An Arbitrary Institute, And Therefore A
Possible Mistake. A Sage And A Maniac Each Thinks The Other Mad. The
Decision Is A Matter Of Majorities. Should A Whole Community Become
Insane, It Would Nevertheless Vote Itself Wise; If The Craze Of Bedlam
Were Uniform, Its Inmates Could Not Distinguish It From A Pantheon; And
Though All Human History Seemed to The Gods Only As A Continuous Series
Of Mediæval Processions _Des Sots Et Des Ânes_, Yet The Topsy-Turvy
Intellect Of The World Would Ever Worship Folly In the Name Of Wisdom.
Arts And Sciences, Ideas And Institutions, Laws And Learning would Still
Abound, Transmogrified to Suit The Reigning madness. And As Statistics
Reveal The Late Gradual And General Increase Of Insanity, It Becomes A
Provident People To Consider What May Be The Ultimate Results, If This
Increase Should Happen Never To Be Checked. And If Sanity Be, Indeed, A
Glory Which We Might All Lose Unawares, We May Well Betake Ourselves To
Very Solemn Reflection As To Whether We Are, At The Present Moment, In
Our Wits And Senses, Or Not. [mehr]

David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 – 2 March 1930) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter who published as D. H. Lawrence. His collected works, among other things, represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, some of the issues Lawrence explores are emotional health, vitality, spontaneity and instinct.
Lawrence's opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile which he called his "savage pilgrimage."[1] At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. E. M. Forster, in an obituary notice, challenged this widely held view, describing him as, "The greatest imaginative novelist of our generation."[2] Later, the influential Cambridge critic F. R. Leavis championed both his artistic integrity and his moral seriousness, placing much of Lawrence's fiction within the canonical "great tradition" of the English novel. [mehr]
