I am not a mechanism, an assembly of various sections. And it is not because the mechanism is working wrongly, that i am ill. I am ill because of wounds to the soul, to the deep emotional self, and the wounds to the soul take a long, long time, only time can help and patience, and a certain difficult repentance long difficult repentance, realization of lifes mistake, and the freeing oneself from the endless repetition of the mistake which mankind at large has chosen to sanctify. - Healing, Complete Poems of D.H. Lawrence (en) |
