hahaha, well Turk as someone who in a few weeks will have been married seventeen years, I have to say you've got a point. But marriage is in most cases good for you.

Certainly. We marry because if we all would try to hire a cook, a maid, a servant that would cost really expensive. That's why we find a woman who have all of those abilities. And as men, we think we are so smart; although 2 years later we suddenly realize how stupid we are; cuz a woman costs much more than a maid, a cook and a servant. Also she will summon some children too.

Ok, enough fun. In fact i believe women are presents of God and i will marry in a year probly too.

Why do women have small feet?
So they can stand closer to the sink!

Also she will summon some children too.

From her parents' house, no doubt!

Oh, here comes the disclaimer!

Was browsing around online and found some neat photos, but they are really small. If you go to the site:

http://www.dh-lawrence.org.uk/ you can see a many neat photos, also I think there is an online exhibit at this link.

You can also find much information and pictures at:

The Lawrence Circle - D H Lawrence Resourses - Manuscripts and Special Collections - The University of Nottingham

Thanks Scherherazade, good to have that separate thread for "Sons and Lovers". Now Pensive and I, and anyone else can discuss the book when she finishes it.

My students have a couple of exams tomorrow so Im acompanying them for the morning one-English Language, 3 hours and 15 minutes- I ll take Lawrence along with me to begin, while they re inside.

Im off to England on the ninth so thats my flight reading sorted! Im not sure how/when/if I ll be able to be in touch over there but I ll be back on the 28th July so I hope the discussion is thriving, still.

A very good read to you all.

Anthony, have a great trip! Wish I could go, too.(*jealous*) My dream is to set foot on English soil. Wow, I hope you can get to see something bit Lawrence history...maybe his birthplace....or the exhibit at Nottingham University or the grave (not really his, but his parents and his name is on the tombstone). At anyrate if you can't, still it is so appropriate that you are reading Lawence on your flight into England. Lawrence would like that idea I am sure. Have a great time in the UK!

Nick Adams, I don't really appreciate that photo of Golum, is it?
In defense of my beloved images of D.H.Lawrence, I must say that the first photo posted prior to these (the post that got moved) were Lawrence at a very young age - maybe about 21, 22....then the second, with the beard, an older one; if you notice he was much thinner and he is at least 10-15 yrs older than the first. First off, Lawrence suffered his whole life with lung problems, that were eventually diagnosed as TB, and eventually took his life. He grew the long beard during a bad bought of illness - pneumonia - when he nearly died. He said the beard kept his face and neck warm and prevented him getting sick again with flus and colds. Of course despite it yearly would get a bad cold, usually around Christmas. Anyway, L had some strange notions and the beard was one of them. So cut the guy a break! He was ill and changed considerably from his early photos when he was in better health.

I see they are still there - the other set of photos on page before this one. So this email is also partly to Turk (for further information) but still his joke was somewhat suble and funny.

A possible representation of how he would have looked if he hadn't got married:

[Turk]

Well Sehrazad, actually if you look careful the second one looks quite happy and relaxed.

But of course... As the old saying goes, 'Ignorance is bliss.'
