D. H. Lawrence lasciò l'Inghilterra per la prima volta nel maggio 1912, a quasi 27 anni, fuggendo a Metz con Frieda von Richthofen, spostandosi poi in Italia per un lungo soggiorno di circa otto mesi. I due approdano prima a Riva del Garda, poi a Gargnano. Restano lì fino a marzo 1913, si trasferiscono poi per qualche giorno a San Gaudenzio. Il periodo trascorso sul Lago di Garda è particolarmente prolifico per lo scrittore. Sul Lago di Garda – parte di una raccolta di viaggio più ampia, i...

I stood watching the shadowy fish slide through the gloom of the mill-pond.

Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We’ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.
