Explore "Bombardment" by D.H. Lawrence on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
THE TOWN has opened to the sun. / Like a flat red lily with a million petals / She unfolds, she comes undone.
A sharp sky brushes upon / The myriad glittering chimney-tips / As she gently exhales to the sun.
Hurrying creatures run / Down the labyrinth of the sinister flower. / What is it they shun?
A dark bird falls from the sun. / It curves in a rush to the heart of the vast / Flower: the day has begun.
