The Rainbow - David H.LAWRENCE


Born in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, England. He studied at Nottingham University College, became a schoolmaster, later he left the profession. He wrote The White Peacock (1911), Sons and Lovers (1913), The Rainbow (1915), Women in Love (1919), Aaron’s Rod (1922), Kangaroo (1923), Birds, Beasts and Flowers (1923), The Plumed Serpent (1926), Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1928).

The Brangwens had lived for generations on the Marsh Farm, in the meadows where the Erewash twisted sluggishly through alder trees, separating Derbyshire from Nottinghamshire. Two miles away, a church - tower stood on a hill, the houses of the little country town climbing assiduously up to it. Whenever one of the Brangwens in the fields lifted his head from his work, he saw the church-tower at Ilkeston in the empty sky. So that as he turned again to the horizontal land, he was aware of something standing above him and beyond him in the distance.

What ho! what ho! this fellow is dancing mad!
He hath been bitten by the Tarantula.
All in the Wrong. 
This island is a very singular one. It consists of little else than the sea sand, and is about three miles long. Its breadth at no point exceeds a quarter of a mile. It is separated from the main land by a scarcely perceptible creek, oozing its way through a wilderness of reeds and slime, a favourite resort of the marsh- hen. The vegetation, as might be supposed, is scant, or at least dwarfish. No trees of any magnitude are to be seen. Near the western extremity, where Fort Moultrie stands, and where are some miserable frame buildings, tenanted, during summer, by the fugitives from Charleston dust and fever, may be found, indeed, the bristly palmetto; but the whole island, with the exception of this western point, and a line of hard, white beach on the sea-coast, is covered with a dense undergrowth of the sweet myrtle, so much prized by the horticulturists of England. The shrub here often attains the height of fifteen or twenty feet, and forms an almost impenetrable coppice, burdening the air with its fragrance.
