Abstract
So, Lawrence, you died. ‘Even the dead,’ you wrote of Maurice Magnus, ‘ask only for justice.’1 But what is justice? ‘Anger,’ you wrote again, ‘is just, and pity is just; but judgement is never just.’ Shall we be angry with you then, or shall we pity you? Would even pity bring balm to your uneasy ghost?
From Son of Woman: The Story of D. H. Lawrence (London: Jonathan Cape, 1931) pp. 387–9.
