[Fantasia of the Unconscious by D. H. Lawrence]@TWC D-Link bookFantasia of the Unconscious CHAPTER X 22/41
The first, the way of fulfillment through complete love, complete, passionate, deep love. And the second, the greater, the fulfillment through the accomplishment of religious purpose, the soul's earnest purpose.
We work the love way falsely, from the upper self, and work it to death. The second way, of active unison in strong purpose, and in faith, this we only sneer at. But to return to the child and the parent.
The coming to the fulfillment of single aloneness, through love, is made impossible for us by the ideal, the monomania of more love.
At the very _age dangereuse_, when a woman should be accomplishing her own fulfillment into maturity and rich quiescence, she turns rabidly to seek a new lover.
At the very crucial time when she should be coming to a state of pure equilibrium and rest with her husband, she turns rabidly against rest or peace or equilibrium or husband in any shape or form, and demands more love, more love, a new sort of lover, one who will "understand" her.
