Sons and Lovers was one of the seminal books of my adolescence. It made such
an impression on me I never wanted (or did) go on to Women in Love. And the
idea of Lady C taught me something about language.
I doubt if Robin will ever write as good a poem as Snake and I have stood in
the evening sunlight on the bridge over the Arno watching the pipistrello.
Now I must leave and head North. I may come back some day. Cheerio and Merry
Christmas.
