I don’t think everyone will enjoy reading this. If you have no interest in Literature, then don’t bother going through it.
“Dear reader, have we not all left off believing in positive evil? And therefore is it not true that the seducer, invaluable to fiction, is dead? The seducer & the innocent maid are no more. We live in better days. There are only spooners now, a world full of spoons…Don’t talk of lust, it isn’t fair. How can such creamy feelings be lustful!...It doesn’t matter what you do – only how you do it. Isn’t that the sincerest of modern maxims? – How can there be any real wrong in it?...There is no wrong in it. We are all so perfectly sweet about it all, & on such a sympathetic plane.
Why bother about spades being spades any more? It isn’t the point…Call a spoon a spoon if you like. But don’t drag in garden implements. It’s almost as bad as the Greeks with their horrid plough metaphor…You know well enough…What harm is there in a bit of a spoon? And if it goes rather far: even very far: well what by that! As we said before, it depends how you go, not where you go. And there is nothing low about our goings, even if we go to great lengths. A spoon isn’t a spade, thank goodness. As for a plough – don’t mention it.”
D. H. Lawrence
