What liars poets and everybody were! They made one think one wanted sentiment. When what one supremely wanted was this piercing, consuming, rather awful sensuality.
In D.H. Lawrence's "Lady Chatterley's Lover," the author critiques the representations of desire in poetry and society, suggesting that they often mislead individuals about their true needs. Instead of embracing the deep, raw sensuality that humans crave, these eloquent expressions of sentiment can distract from the more primal desires inherent within us.
Lawrence emphasizes the contrast between lofty poetic sentiments and the stark reality of human sexuality. He argues that the intense, often overwhelming nature of physical desire is what people genuinely seek, even if they may be swayed by romanticized notions of love and emotion. Ultimately, he believes that true fulfillment lies in acknowledging and embracing this visceral aspect of being human.
