We cannot bear connection. That is our malady. We 
must break away and be isolate. We call that 
being free, being individual. Beyond a certain 
point, which we have reached, it is suicideŠ What 
man most passionately wants is his living 
wholeness, and his living unison, not his own 
isolate salvation of his "soul." I am part of the 
sun as my eye is part of me. That I am part of 
the earth my feet know perfectly, and my blood is 
part of the seaŠ There is nothing of me that is 
alone and absolute, except my mind, and we shall 
find that the mind has no existence by itself. It 
is only the glitter of the sun on the surface of 
the waters.

D.H. Lawrence
