Sunday WW1 Poet....

The theme for this month's WW1 poems 

is 


Literary Figures 


Those poets who are perhaps better known for their stories

D H Lawrence

1885 - 1930

Future War

After our industrial civilisation has broken, and 

the civilisation of touch has begun

war will cease, there will be no more wars.

The heart of man, in so far as it is budding, is budding warless

and budding towards infinite variety, variegation

and where there is infinite variety, there is no interest in war.

Oneness, makes war, the obsession of oneness





David Herbert Lawrence was born and educated in Nottingham,
During the First World War he was know for his anti war poems and is, of course, now recognised as one of our great English writers.

His novels include:


Sons and Lovers (1913)
The Rainbow (1915)
Women in Love (1920)
Lady Chatterley's Lover(1928)
