[Fantasia of the Unconscious by D. H. Lawrence]@TWC D-Link bookFantasia of the Unconscious CHAPTER IX 30/49
It is a choice between yielding the soul to a leader, leaders, or yielding only to the woman, wife, mistress, or mother. The great collective passion of belief which brings men together, comrades and co-workers, passionately obeying their soul-chosen leader or leaders, this is not a sex passion.
Not in any sense.
Sex holds any _two_ people together, but it tends to disintegrate society, unless it is subordinated to the great dominating male passion of collective _purpose_. But when the sex passion submits to the great purposive passion, then you have fulness.
And no great purposive passion can endure long unless it is established upon the fulfillment in the vast majority of individuals of the true sexual passion.
No great motive or ideal or social principle can endure for any length of time unless based upon the sexual fulfillment of the vast majority of individuals concerned. It cuts both ways.
