Explore "From A College Window" by D.H. Lawrence on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
THE glimmer of the limes, sun-heavy, sleeping, / Goes trembling past me up the College wall. / Below, the lawn, in soft blue shade is keeping, / The daisy-froth quiescent, softly in thrall.
Beyond the leaves that overhang the street, / Along the flagged, clean pavement summer-white, / Passes the world with shadows at their feet / Going left and right.
Remote, although I hear the beggar's cough, / See the woman's twinkling fingers tend him a coin, / I sit absolved, assured I am better off / Beyond a world I never want to join.
