Résumé :

Lawrence's reputation as a novelist has often meant that his achievements in poetry have failed to receive the recognition they deserve. This edition brings together, in a form he himself sanctioned, his Collected Poems of 1928, the unexpurgated version of Pansies, and Nettles, adding to these volumes the contents of the two notebooks in which he was still writing poetry when he died in 1930. It therefore allows the reader to trace the development of Lawrenc... >Voir plus

Davantage réputé pour ses talents de romancier, D.H. Lawrence est aussi un incroyable poète. Peut-être même l'un des plus grands poètes de la littérature mondiale. A découvrir d'urgence, le poème incantatoire "Bavarian Gentians" !

The Elephant is Slow to Mate

The elephant, the huge old beast,
is slow to mate;
he finds a female, they show no haste
they wait

for the sympathy in their vast shy hearts
slowly, slowly to rouse
as they loiter along the river-beds
and drink and browse

and dash in panic through the brake
of forest with the herd,
and sleep in massive silence, and wake
together, without a word.

So slowly the great hot elephant hearts
grow full of desire,
and the great beasts mate in secret at last,
hiding their fire.

Oldest they are and the wisest of beasts
so they know at last
how to wait for the loneliest of feasts
for the full repast.

They do not snatch, they do not tear;
their massive blood
moves as the moon-tides, near, more near
till they touch in flood.

Not every man has gentians in his house
in soft September, at slow, sad Michaelmas.

Bavarian gentians, big and dark, only dark
darkening the daytime, torch-like, with the smoking blueness of Pluto's
gloom,
ribbed and torch-like, with their blaze of darkness spread blue
down flattening into points, flattened under the sweep of white day
torch-flower of the blue-smoking darkness, Pluto's dark-blue daze,
black lamps from the halls of Dis, burning dark blue,
giving off darkness, blue darkness, as Demeter's pale lamps give off
light,
lead me then, lead the way.

Reach me a gentian, give me a torch!
let me guide myself with the blue, forked torch of this flower
down the darker and darker stairs, where blue is darkened on blueness
even where Persephone goes, just now, from the frosted September
to the sightless realm where darkness is awake upon the dark
and Persephone herself is but a voice
or a darkness invisible enfolded in the deeper dark
of the arms Plutonic, and pierced with the passion of dense gloom,
among the splendor of torches of darkness, shedding darkness on
the lost bride and her groom.

A YELLOW leaf from the darkness
Hops like a frog before me.
Why should I start and stand still?

I was watching the woman that bore me
Stretched in the brindled darkness
Of the sick-room, rigid with will
To die: and the quick leaf tore me
Back to this rainy swill
Of leaves and lamps and traffic mingled before me.

Palimpsest of Twilight

DARKNESS comes out of the earth
And swallows dip into the pallor of the west;
From the hay comes the clamour of children's mirth;
Wanes the old palimpsest.

The night-stock oozes scent,
And a moon-blue moth goes flittering by:
All that the worldly day has meant
Wastes like a lie.

The children have forsaken their play;
A single star in a veil of light
Glimmers: litter of day
Is gone from sight.

Vidéo de D.H. Lawrence
Lady Chatterley de Pascale Ferran : Entretien avec Michel Ciment (2006 / France Culture). Par Michel Ciment. Réalisation : Pierrette Perrono. Photographie : Pascale Ferran • Crédits : Sipa. Le 11 novembre 2006, dans son émission “Projection privée” diffusée sur France Culture, Michel Ciment recevait la réalisatrice Pascale Ferran pour s'entretenir avec elle autour de son film “Lady Chatterley” : une adaptation cinématographique d'un roman de l'écrivain britannique D. H. Lawrence. Pascale Ferran expliquait notamment les raisons pour lesquelles elle avait choisi d'adapter la deuxième version du livre, intitulée “Lady Chatterley et l'Homme des bois”. “Lady Chatterley et l'Homme des bois” (“John Thomas and Lady Jane”) est un roman du Britannique D. H. Lawrence publié en 1927. Deuxième des trois versions du roman polémique de 1928 “L'Amant de lady Chatterley”, il s'en distingue par l'absence de scènes crues et plusieurs variations, notamment à la fin. Moins connu que la version définitive, “Lady Chatterley et l'Homme des bois” a servi pour la mini-série télévisée britannique de Ken Russell diffusée en 1993, et l’adaptation cinématographique française de Pascale Ferran sortie en 2006, où jouent Marina Hands, Jean-Louis Coulloc'h et Hippolyte Girardot.
