The quote "On revient toujours à son premier amour" suggests a deep, enduring connection to one's first love. It implies a cynicism, almost contradicting the idea that we don't truly return to our initial passion. However, D.H. Lawrence argues that while people may abandon their early attempts at love, the genuine bond formed with someone at a profound level is unbreakable. Once established, this connection transcends shallow experiences and remains intact even through life's challenges.
Lawrence emphasizes that true love involves deep communication that engages both emotional and intellectual centers. When such a full circuit is formed between partners, the relationship can withstand the test of time. In contrast, superficial interactions, often driven by physical attraction or fleeting emotions, are more likely to falter. Ultimately, the notion that one can truly leave their first love is challenged by the belief that significant emotional ties remain with us forever.
