Explore "Coldness in Love" by D.H. Lawrence on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
And you remember, in the afternoon / The sea and the sky went grey, as if there had sunk / A flocculent dust on the floor of the world: the festoon / Of the sky sagged dusty as spider cloth, / And coldness clogged the sea, till it ceased to croon.
A dank, sickening scent came up from the grime / Of weed that blackened the shore, so that I recoiled / Feeling the raw cold dun me: and all the time / You leapt about on the slippery rocks, and threw / The words that rang with a brassy, shallow chime.
