The Plumed Serpent by D. H. Lawrence
The man just setting out his oranges, wiping them with a cloth so carefully, almost tenderly, and piling them in bright tiny pyramids, all neat and exquisite. Seeing the wooden barrier around the arena, finding he was able to look over it, he thought he might as well take the leap. What they call liberty here is just freedom to commit crime. Villiers of course was keen. She could feel in him a sort of yearning towards her. Instantly, in a pang of alarm, Kate noticed that the horse was thickly blindfolded with a black cloth. The rise and fall of civilizations that this movement describes reflects a very profound truth of our existence and the power that drives its evolution.
Everywhere the feeling of sensuality abounds — in the raw descriptions of the plants and flowers, the animals, particularly the stallion and oxen scenes. Kate shivered a little in her thin frock, for the ponderous rain had a touch of ice. It was like nothing else I've read of Lawrence, but it's a book that will make you think if you read it with an open mind. They all had this soft rottenness of the soul, a strange perversity which made even the squalid, repulsive things seem part of life to them. She thought of the little tale the natives tell. Книгата е хубава, на моменти религиозното идва в повече, но не може да се отрече, че авторът е тънък познавач на човешката психика и успява много добре да обрисува противоречивите чувства на човешката душа.

Everybody careful, as far as possible, not to touch anybody else. It is unfortunate, but the foreigners seem to make the Mexicans worse than they are naturally. The rider scrambled from under the horse and went running away with his lance. Because of this we take care in describing the condition of each book in as much detail as possible, images provided are of the actual book. This she had paid to see. Villiers remained with a fixed, abstract look on his thin face, rather like a death's head.
In the name of these gentlemen from the hills, from the village of Apaxtle, many thanks. Only in Spain, where there is wonderful colour. Mixcoatl is a capital way in the South, and they've got a sort of Labour bureau there. The President had not come. He too had come through Vera Cruz, and had had his fright; the porters had charged him twenty pesos to carry his trunk from the ship to the train. There sat the bands, in as much pomp as they could muster, but they did not begin to play.
The bull trotted round the arena, ignoring the toreadors, and leaped once more into the gangway. I thought I'd love it, well, other than the frenetic, fantastic description of Mexico City, I really hated this book. He was as nearly in hysterics as Kate. The bull looked with irritable wonder at the incomprehensible medley of horse and rider kicking on the ground a few yards away from him. She was a beautiful woman, in her own unconventional way, and with a certain richness. While modern people who are generally unaware of this wave movement wonder why ancient civilizations have mostly disappeared, this no longer is an enigma if we recognize that upon peaks follow valleys that often, but not always, tend to bring the already existing civilizations down.
Lawrence seems to have had a close to peerless skill in describing movement and conflict with a languid economy of meaning that is supremely effective in conveying the scene. They pressed towards the inner exit. But perhaps not,' he ended vaguely, driftingly. Owen started, bridled, transfixed for a moment. And as she sat her hands trembled with outrage and passion. This does not match what a modern person would think of as a snake, and it makes us wonder why the serpent has played such a significant role in ancient myths.
How could one be a-moral, or non-moral, when one's soul was revolted! They dropped down the concrete steps till they were only three tiers from the bottom. I'm not sure if my adoration of Lawrence's other books was just a highschool crush or if this one was just horrible, but I was sincerely disappointed by this book. Do not dismiss him on account of his unpleasant conclusions. The bull trotted suspiciously up to the motionless horse bearing the rider with the long pole; a lean old horse that would never move till Doomsday, unless someone shoved it. To enjoy making everything fouler.
I have come from out of the lake to tell you the gods are coming back to Mexico, they are ready to return to their own home. Интересни сблъсъци и противопоставяния в цялята книга. Human cowardice and beastliness, a smell of blood, a nauseous whiff of bursten bowels! In fact, all over the world including in the Book of Genesis of the Bible we find the serpent revered as an especially powerful animal. Kate felt she was going to prison. She turned her face away. But the audience was already a mob, mostly of fattish town men in black tight suits and little straw hats, and a mixing-in of the dark-faced labourers in big hats.
Did you ever try a bull-fight, Major? Then he motioned me to take my hat off: I'd got to take my hat off. I think I saw in the newspaper you were here in town — visiting Mexico. Oh, land of the free! But there were dark rings round his eyes, like a debauch. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialisation. They sat and gazed around. I don't like the young people, boys and girls, no? Keep up the good work, Nadine and Caroline.
My name is Mrs Leslie. It has been waiting some time,' he replied. They went round the arena, then took up their posts, sentry-wise, on either side the tunnel entrance through which they had come in. It is powerful and yes, in a pagan, rudimentary, life-force way. You can feel the density of this book from the first few pages, and this trend persists to the end.
