05: Song

Song, later published as Flapper, is a beautiful love poem by D.H. Lawrence. First published in 1914, this poem is from the earlier phase of Lawrence’s work and is in a more traditional poetic style.

Lawrence cut a very interesting figure in the Modernist movement. He’s famous for his self-imposed exile, his sheer volume of work, and his possible polyamorous relationship in Taos, NM. He was a true original.
