Pansies (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025889696)

"Pansies" is a provocative and deeply personal collection of poetry by the renowned author David Herbert Lawrence. Drawing its title from the French word pensées, meaning thoughts, the work presents a series of intellectual and emotional snapshots that capture the author's reflections on the human condition, social hypocrisy, and the natural world. Lawrence moves away from traditional poetic structures to deliver direct, often satirical, observations on the stifling nature of modern industrial society and the complexities of human intimacy.

In this collection, readers will encounter a wide array of themes, from the raw beauty of the living world to sharp critiques of class and bourgeois morality. "Pansies" showcases Lawrence's characteristic vitality and his refusal to conform to the restrictive social norms of his time. Each poem serves as a "thought-flower," offering a glimpse into the mind of one of the twentieth century's most influential and controversial literary figures. Whether addressing the trivialities of daily life or the profound mysteries of existence, Lawrence's voice remains urgent, honest, and undeniably modern. This collection remains an essential work for those seeking to understand the philosophical and lyrical depth of Lawrence's later career.
