Special Holiday timetables may operate on public holidays and passengers are advised to check times with the Company before making travelling arrangements. Buying a ticket and seat reservations 2.

A ticket bearing a valid reservation reference provides travel between the points shown on the date s and at the departure time s shown on the ticket. A reservation entitles a passenger to a seat on the specified journey but not to any specific seat on the coach. Pre-booked passengers must arrive at the departure point for their journey not less than 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time shown on their ticket otherwise their seat reservation will be void and their seats reallocated to other passengers. Ticket holders are not bound or entitled to travel on any particular vehicle, except as set out above.

The Company will not be liable for any loss or inconvenience suffered by the holders of tickets without pre-booked reservations owing to their not being able to find accommodation on the particular vehicle on which they desire to travel. Passengers with restricted mobility should indicate whether they are wheelchair users when making their booking. Only one wheelchair space is provided inside each coach. Contact details for such passengers should be provided to the Company when booking.

Alterations to tickets Alterations to tickets are only permitted in the event of an error in booking and these must be notified to the Company within 48 hours of making the booking. Tickets may not be altered after the departure date and time. Any alterations are subject to seat availability.

Your contract with the Company A ticket that has been issued to you is evidence of a contract between you and the Company. If the ticket entitles you to any goods or services from a third party, it is also evidence of a contract between you and that party.

You may not transfer your ticket A ticket may only be used by the person for whom it has been bought. It cannot be resold or passed on to anyone else. Please retain your ticket for inspection at any time whilst on board the coach. Conditions on which tickets are issued Each ticket is issued subject to: Child fares apply to passengers less than 16 years of age. One infant aged under 3 years, accompanied by an adult fare-paying passenger, will be carried free of charge.

Any additional infants, accompanied by the same adult will be charged at child fares. Validity of Tickets The period during which you can use a ticket The period during which a ticket is valid is as printed on the ticket or stated in the notices and other publications of the Company or as contained in these Conditions of Carriage. The times you can travel and the services you can use Any reduced or discounted fare tickets may be subject to restrictions such as the dates, days, and times when you can use them, and the services on which they can be used.

These restrictions are set out in the notices and other publications of the Company and it is the responsibility of passengers to ensure that they are aware of such. If you travel on a service with a ticket which is not valid on that service because of such a published restriction, you will be required to purchase a full price ticket for the journey made. No refunds or amendments will be made in relation to e-Tickets whether before or after the date of travel except in case of notified error as above.

If we have reason to suspect the fraudulent use of an e-Ticket, we reserve the right to confiscate or otherwise invalidate it and prevent you from travelling on our services. In such an event we reserve the right to take further proceedings should we see fit. No refund will be made in relation to any e-Ticket confiscated or invalidated under this special condition.

Use of Tickets Breaking or ending a journey at intermediate places A break of journey is only allowed for interchange purposes. In such instances the passenger must travel on the first available connecting service. Failure to comply will result in the passenger having to purchase a full price ticket for the journey made. If you travel further than your ticket allows If you travel to a place beyond the one specified on your ticket, you will be treated as having joined the coach without a valid ticket for that additional part of your journey and a full price ticket will have to be purchased as if it were a separate journey.

Withdrawal of tickets If you fail in a material respect to comply with any condition that governs the use of a ticket, the staff or agents of the Company may withdraw or otherwise invalidate the ticket. The Company will not refund or replace lost or stolen tickets. New tickets must be purchased for travel. Please check tickets and change at the time they are issued When you buy a ticket, you should make sure that it is valid for the journey you want to make and that you have received the correct change.

If possible, you should tell staff about any apparent errors at that time. If you do not, the Company or agent which sold you the ticket will only consider claims about any errors if you can show to its reasonable satisfaction that an error was made on its part. In the event that a debit or credit card or other form of payment is rejected, tickets purchased by that transaction will be invalid.

Arriving in time to board the coach Passengers who have reserved tickets should arrive at the correct departure point for their coach not less than 15 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. The correct departure point is the actual stop or coach station stand from which the coach will depart. Passengers arriving late Where passengers arrive at the departure point later than 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time, the Company reserves the right to allow other passengers without reserved tickets to board the coach and there is no guarantee that you will be able to travel at that time.

No responsibility for any loss can be accepted in such circumstances. The Company may at its absolute discretion permit passengers to use a valid ticket up to 24 hours from the pre-booked departure time subject to capacity being available on a subsequent journey but does not guarantee any priority in such circumstances. Such journey must be made in the same direction and between the same two points as the pre-booked ticket. Make sure you are on the correct coach and that you get off at the right stop You are responsible for making sure that you join the correct coach and that you get off at the right stop.

Inspection of tickets You must show and, when required, hand over for inspection and scanning as required, a valid ticket and any accompanying discount card at the request of the staff of the Company or its agent. A ticket which registers as having been used for a previous journey will not be accepted for travel and a new ticket must be purchased.

In the event of dispute, passengers are advised to purchase a new ticket and submit a refund request as above. If a ticket is defaced, damaged or tampered with it is not valid for travel. The Company reserves the right to refuse to issue a replacement ticket in such circumstances.

Lost or mislaid tickets A ticket is your evidence of your right to make a journey and its safekeeping is your responsibility. When you have to change coaches If it is necessary to change coaches you will be responsible for your transfer between stops and for the transfer of your luggage. Making time for connections Passengers must allow plenty of time for their coach journey to arrive in time to connect with other forms of transport provided by other carriers or before an appointment when travelling to important appointments.

The Company does not accept responsibility for any delays caused by circumstances beyond our control. Comfort breaks Short halts may be made on some routes for refreshments or other reasons. Passengers must return to the coach punctually within the time allowed for these halts. Coaches may have to proceed without a passenger who fails to rejoin the coach at the prescribed time as set out in the timetable or as announced by the driver. The Company will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by such an occurrence. More than one person travelling on one ticket Where two or more people are included on the same ticket, the person purchasing the ticket shall be deemed to do so on the basis that he or she acts as agent for both or all the members of the party and accepts these conditions on behalf of each member of the party.

The party must remain together, unless otherwise directed by a Company official for example due to capacity on a particular vehicle , or purchase separate tickets if the passengers wish to travel separately, in which case no refund will be given. Responsabilities of the Company In the event of any failure by the Company to fulfil its obligations due to a circumstance beyond its reasonable control, the passenger shall be entitled to a refund of their ticket price but the Company shall have no additional liability beyond this.

Provided that the Company does so within a reasonable time, it shall have no other liability as a result of any delay in performing its obligations. In particular, but without prejudice to the above paragraph, the Company shall have no liability for any consequential losses of the passenger as a result of failure by the Company to fulfil its obligations for example but without limitation, passengers missing flights or other onward connections. The playing on coaches and in coach stations of radios, cassette or CD players, personal stereos, musical instruments is not permitted.

However, provided that the driver of a coach is satisfied that the sound of a personal stereo does not cause offence or inconvenience either to himself or to the other passengers, he may allow an exception to this requirement. A coach is a confined area and passengers should only use mobile telephones where essential. Passengers are not permitted to take alcoholic drinks onto coaches for the purpose of consuming them on board, nor to drink such drinks on the coach or to remain on the coach when in the opinion of the driver they are under the influence of alcoholic drink.

Any container of alcohol must remain sealed at all times when on board the coach. Drug and Solvent abuse. Certain seats or wheelchair areas may be reserved for passengers with restricted mobility or other special needs. Passengers should always comply with any requests from staff to make such seats available. Any special requirements should be made known to the Company at least 48 hours in advance of travelling. Wherever possible, the Company will assist passengers using wheelchairs. One wheelchair user per coach may be accommodated inside the vehicle provided that the wheelchair does not exceed mm x mm in size and the space has been booked in advance.

The wheelchair must be appropriately positioned and secured. Folding wheelchairs will be carried where possible; however battery-powered wheelchairs cannot be carried unless they can be safely stowed in disassembled parts in the luggage compartment of the coach. In each case, the weight of each unit must not exceed 20kg. The Company can offer no guarantee that a member of staff trained in the correct lifting and handling of the wheelchair bound passenger will be available to offer assistance.

It is therefore incumbent on the passenger to make suitable arrangements to have a qualified person available to assist at boarding, departing or connecting point unless confirmed arrangements have been made in advance with the Company. The final decision regarding the safe carriage of wheelchairs and their occupants rests with the Company staff present at the time of boarding, in line with guidance issued by the Company from time to time.

Kids up to 4 years old travel free. If they 27 Ivi, pp. Meanwhile, on the lenght of mountain-ridge, the snow grew rosy- incandescent, like heaven breaking into blossom.

After all, eternal not-being and eternal being are the same. In the rosy snow that shone in heaven over a darkened earth was the ecstasy of consummation. Night and day are one, light and dark are one, both the same in the origin and in the issue, both the same in the moment of ecstasy, light fused in darkeness and darkeness fused in light, as the rosy snow above the twilight. But in the monks it was not ecstasy, in them it was neutrality, the under earth. Transcendent, above the shadowed, twilt earth was the rosy snow of ecstasy.

But spreading far over us, down below, was the neutrality of the twilight, of the monks. The flesh neutralising the spirit, the spirit neutralising the flesh the law of the average asserted, this was the monks as they paced backward and forward. Where is the supreme ecstasy in mankind, which makes day a delight and night a delight, purpose an ecstasy and a concourse in ecstasy, and single abandon of the single body and soul also an ecstasy under the moon? Where is the trascendent knowledge in our hearts, uniting sun and darkness, day and night, spirit and senses?

Why do we not know that the two in consummation are one; that each is only part; partial and alone for ever; but that the two in 28 Ivi, p. Again I had to think of the Italian soul, how it is dark, cleaving to the eternal night. It seems to have become so, at the Renaissance, after the Renaissance. In the Middle Ages Christian Europe seems to have been striving, out of a stong, primitive, animal nature, towards the self-abnegation and the abstraction of Christ.

This brought about by itself a great sense of completeness. The two halves were joined by the effort towards the one as yet unrealised. There was a triumphant joy in the Whole. But the movement all the time was in one direction, towards the elimination of the flesh.

Man wanted more and more to become purely free and abstract. Pure freedom was in pure abstraction. The Word was absolute. When man became as the Word, a pure law, then he was free. But when this conclusion was reached, the movement broke. And Michael Angelo suddenly turned back on the whole Christian movement, back to the flesh.

The flesh was supreme and god-like, in the oneness of the flesh, in the oneness of our physical being, we are one with God, with the Father. God the Father created man in the flash, in His own image. Michael Angelo swung right back to the old Mosaic position. Christ did not exist. To Michael Angelo there was no salvation in the spirit.

There was God the Father, the Begetter, the Author of all flesh. And there was the inexorabile law of the flesh, the Last Judgement, the fall of the immortal flesh into Hell. Paolo and she [Maria] were the opposite sides of the universe, the light and the dark. Yet they lived together now without friction, detached, each subordinated in their common relationship.

With regard to Maria, Paolo omitted himself, Maria omitted herself with regard to Paolo. Their souls were silent and detached, completely apart, and silent, quite silent. They stared the physical relationship of marriage as if it were something beyond them, a third thing. They had suffered very much in the earlier stages of their connection. Now the storm had gone by, leaving them, as it were, spent.

They were both by nature passionate, vehement. But the lines of their passion were opposite: His was the hard, clear, invulnerable passion of the bones, finely-tempered and unchangeable. She was the flint and he the steel. But in continual striking together they only destroyed each other. The fire was a third thing, belonging to neither of them. She was still heavy and full of desire. She was much younger than he. The men keep together, as if to support each other; the women also are together, in a hard, strong herd.

It is as if the power, the hardness, the triumph, even in this Italian village, were with the women in their relentless, vindictive unity. That which drives men and women together, the indomitable necessity, is like a bondage upon the people. They submit as under compulsion, under constraint.

They come together mostly in anger and in violence of destructive passion. There is no comradeship between men and women, none whatsoever, but rather a condition of battle, reserve, hostility. On Sundays the unconfortable, excited, unwilling youth walks for an hour with his sweetheart, at a little distance from her, on the public highway in the afternoon. This is a concession to the necessity for 31 Ivi, p. There is no real courting, no happiness of being together, only the roused excitement which is based on a fundamental hostility.

There is a very little flirting, and what there is is of the soubtle, cruel kind, like a sex duel. On the whole, the men and women avoid each other, almost shun each other. Husband and wife are brought together in a child, which they both worship. But in each of them there is only the great reverence for the infant, and the reference for fatherhood or motherhood, as the case may be, there is no spiritual love. Here the union, the oneness, is manifest.

Though spirit strove with spirit, in mortal conflict, during the sex-passion, yet the flesh united with flesh in oneness. The phallus is still divine. But the spirit, the mind of man, this has become nothing. So the women triumph. I was startled when I realised it. It was as though his reality were not attested till he had a child.

And he had no children. He was nothing, a shadow that vanishes into nothing. And he was ashamed, consumed by his own nothingness. To the Italian the phallus is the symbol of individual creative immortality, to each man his own Godhead. The child is but te evidence of the Godhead. And this is why the Italianis attractive, supple, and beautiful, because her worships the Godhead in the flesh.

We envy him, we feel pale and insignificant beside him. Yet at the same time we feel superior to him, as if he were a child and we adult. Wherein are we superior? Only because we went beyond the phallus in the search of the Godhead, the creative origin. And we found the physical forces and the secrets of science. We have exalted Man above the man who is in each one of us.

Our aim is a perfect humanity, a perfect and equable human consciousness, selfless. And we obtain it in the subjection, reduction, 32 Ivi, pp. So on we go, active in science and mechanics, and social reform. But we have exhausted ourselves in the process. We have found great treasures, and we are now impotent to use them. So we have said: Tha phallus will never serve us as a Godhead, because we do not believe in it: The children are not the future. The living truth is the future.

Time and people do not make the future. Retrogression is not the future. Fifty million children growing up purposeless, with no purpose save the attainment of their own individual desires, these are not the future, they are only a disintegration of the past. The future is in living, growing truth, in advancing fulfilment. But it is no good. Whatever we do, it is within the greater will towards self-reduction and a perfect society, analysis on the one hand, and mechanical construction on the other.

This will dominates us as a whole, and until the whole breaks down, the will must persist. So that now, continuing in the old, splendid will for a perfect selfless humanity, we have become inhuman and unable to help ourselves, we are but attributes of the great mechanised society we have created on our way to perfection. And this great mechanised society, being selfless, is pitiless.

It works on mechanically and destroys us, it is our master and our God. I took a train. And there, in Milan, sitting in the Cathedral Square, on Saturday afternoon, drinking Bitter Campari and watching the swarm of Italian city-men drink and talk vivaciously, I saw that here the life was still vivid, here the process of disintegration was vigorous, and centred in a multiplicity of mechanical activities that engage the human mind as well as the body.

But always there was the same purpose stinking in it all, the mechanisation, the perfect mechanising of human life. It [the order of the Signoria] is passing away from Italy as it has passed from England.

The peasant is passing away, the workman is taking his place. The stability is gone. Paolo is a ghost, Maria is the living body. And the new order means sorrow for the Italian more even than it has meant for us. I sat and looked at the lake. It was beautiful as a paradise, as the first creation. On the shores were the ruined lemon-pillars standing out in melancholy, the clumsy, enclosed lemon-houses seemed ramshackle, bulging among vine stocks and olive trees. The villages, too, clustered upon their churches, seemed to belong to the past.

They seemed to be lingering in bygone centuries. But his triumph was only histrionic. The machines were more to his soul than the sun. He did not know these mechanism, their great, human-contrived, inhuman power, and he wanted to know them. As for the sun, that is common property, and no man is distinguished by it. He wanted machines, machine production, money, and human power. He wanted to know the joy of man who has got the earth in his grip, bound it up with railways, burrowed it with iron fingers, subdued it.

He wanted this last triumph of the ego, this last reduction. He wanted to go where the English have gone, beyond the Self, into the great inhuman Not- Self, to create the great unliving creators, the machines, out of the active forces of nature that existed before flesh. But he is too old. It remains for the young Italian to embrace his mistress, the machine. The Englishman had gone. I looked for his name in the book. It was written in a fair, clerky hand. He lived at Streatham. Suddenly I hated him.

The dogged fool, to keep his nose on the grindstone like that. What was all his courage but the very trip-top of cowardice? There was a tall thin young man, whose face was red and inflamed from the sun. I tought he was a German tourist. He had just come in. And he was eating bread and milk. He and I were alone in the eating-room. He was looking at an illustrated paper. He only shook his head over his bread and milk, and did not lift his face. No one but an Englishman would have hidden his face in a bowl of milk, and have shaken his rede ars in such painful confusion.

It was as if one suddenly found oneself in the Tube. Lo stesso vale per gli esuli italiani incontrati sulla via del ritorno: They loved Italy passionately; but they would not go back. All their blood, all their senses were Italian, needed the Italian sky, the speech, the sensuous life. They could hardly live except through the senses.

But sensually they were men: Non posso ancora credere che questo paesaggio [bavarese] sia reale: Bisogna che ci ritorni. Sto considerando se tenere questa casa per un altro anno, o ritirarmi nei deserti della Sardegna. Stanchi delle incessanti piogge di Fontana Vecchia, carichi di speranze che avevano fatto rapidamente posto a rabbia e disillusione45, i due coniugi avevano lasciato la Sicilia per una decina di giorni nel gennaio del Lawrence chiarisce ai suoi lettori: But I think it was because Sorgono had seemed so fascinating!

If I had expected nothing I should not have been so hit. Karl Baedeker fu un editore tedesco di guide turistiche, famose per la loro precisione. Ne consegue uno stile spontaneo e immediato, in cui si riflette la vita serena condotta da Lawrence in quel periodo: And what is more, to move in some particular direction. A double necessity then: There is Girgenti by the south.

There is Tunis at hand. Girgenti, and the sulphur spirit and the Greek guarding temples, to make one madder? Neither Syracuse and the madness of its great quarries. Not the Arabs, not yet. No good at all. Sardinia, which is like nowhere. Sardinia, which has no history, no date, no race, no offering. Let it be Sardinia. It lies outside; outside the circuit of civilisation. This timeless Grecian Etna, in her lower-heaven loveliness, so lovely, so lovely, what a torturer! Not many men can really stand her, without losing their souls. She is like Circe. Unless a man is very strong, she takes hi soul away from him, and leaves him, not a beast, but an elementary creature, intelligent and soulless.

Naples and Catania alike, the men are hugely fat, with great macaroni paunches, they are expansive and ina perfect drip of casual affection and love. But the Sicilians are even more wildly exuberant and fat and all over one another than the Neapolitans. Anche in Sardegna Lawrence rileva un legame tra il massiccio del Gennargentu e i contadini sardi: This is much more human and knowable, with a deep breast and massive limbs, a powerful mountain body.

It is the Etna of the west: Africa, showing her coast on clear days. And the great watch-temple of the summit, world-sacred, world-mystic in the world that was. Venus of the aborigines, from her watch-temple looking at Africa, beyond the Egatian isles. The world-mystery, the smiling Astarte. This, one of the world centres, older than old!

Laughing, the woman-goddes, at this centre of an ancient, quite-lost world. I confess my heart stood still. But is mere historical fact so strong, that what one learns in bits from books can move one so? Or does the very word call an echo out of the dark blood? It seems so to me. It seems to me from the darkest recessesof my blood comes a terrible echoat the name of Mount Eryx. The name of Athens hardly moves me. At Eryx—my darkness quivers. A different goddes the Eryx Astarte, the women ashtaroth, Erycina ridens must have been, in her pre-historicdark smiling, watching the fearful sunset beyond the Egades, from our gold-lighted Apollo of the Ionian east.

She is a strange goddes to me, this Erycina Venus, and the west is strange, and unfamiliar and a little fearful, be it Africa or be it America. There is nothing to see in Nuoro: Sights are an irritating bore. Happy is the 50 Ivi, p. What a lot of stunts and affections it saves! Life is then life, not museum-stuffing. One could saunter along the rather inert, narrow, Monday-morning street, and see the women having a bit of gossip, and see an old crone with a basket of bread on her head, and see the unwilling ones hanging back for work, and the whole current of industry disinclined to flow.

Life is life and things are things. I am sick of gaping things, even Peruginos. I have had my thrillsfrom Carpaccio and Botticelli. But I can always look at an old, grey-bearded peasant in his earthy white drawers and his black waist-frill, wearing no coat or over-garnment, but just crooking along beside his little ox-wagon. The horrors of strangulation with old culture. Beauty as we know is a millstone round our necks, and I am fairly choked.

Now I shall catch it. I am thoroughly sick to death of the sound of liras. No man can overhear ten words of Italian today without two thousand or two million or ten or twenty or two liras flying like venomous mosquitoes round his ears. Romantic, poetic, cypress-and-orange-tree Italy is gone. Remains an Italy smothered in the filthy smother of innumerable lira notes: Behind this greasy fog some people may still see the Italian sun.

I find it hard work. Through this murk of liras you peer at Michael Angelo and at Botticelli and the rest, and see them all as through a glass, darkly. King Harry was lucky that they only wanted to coin him into gold. Italy wants to mill you into filthy paper liras. I am so used to it—I am so wearily used to it. And this with an injured petulant spietefullness which turns my blood. For I assure tham, whatever I have in Italy I pay for: I am not the British Isles on two legs.

It is more than useless to try to be human about it. You are a State usury system, a coal fiend and an exchange thief. Every Englishman has disappeared into this triple abstraction, in the eyes of the Italian, of the proletariatparticularly. Try and get them to be human, try and get them to see that you are simply an individual, if you can. After all, I am no more than a single human man wandering my lonely way across these years. Now I ask you, is this to be borne? Here I sit, and he talks half impudently and patronisingly about me.

And here I sit, and he is glegging at me as if he saw signs of an aureole under my grey hat. All in ten minutes. I might as well be a place on a map, or a piece of goods with trade-mark. So little perception of the actual me! I now could have kicked him harder. I would have liked to say I was ten times German, too seethe fool change his smirk again. How he would all love it, if England were ruined. That is, the business part of them perhaps would not love it. But the human part would. The commercial part, however, quite violently disclaims the anticipations of the human part.

Underneath, they hate us, and as human beings we are objects of envy and malice. They hate us, with envy, and despise us, with jealousy. Humanly it is to me unpleasant. It is very nice to be overchanged every time, and then insulted if you say a word. Later on, when I had slept, I thought as I have thought before, the Italians are not to blame for their spite against us. And if now, in tha war or after the war, we have led them all into a real old swinery—which we have, notwithstanding all Entente cant—then they have a legitimate grudge against us.

If you take upon yourself to lead, you must expect the mud to be thrown at you if you lead into a nasty morass. Pretty behaviour of great nations! I am not a chip of any nasty old block. They are ordinary men no more: New honours come upon them, etc. But, once more in parenthesis, let me remind myself it is our own English fault. We have slobbered about the nobility of toil, till at last the nobles naturally insiston eating the cake.

And more than that, we have set forth, politically, on such a high and Galahad quest of holy 58 Ivi, p. Yet he had that kind of dignity, the wistful seriousness and pride of a man in machine control: The spirit of the place is a strange thing. Our mechanical age tries to override it.

But it does not succeed. In the end the strange, sinister spirit of place, so diverse and so adverse in differing places, will smash our mechanical oneness into smithereens, and all that we think the real thing will go off with a pop, and we shall be left staring. The moment has come when America, that extremist in world assimilation and world-oneness is reaching into violent egocentricity, a truly Amerindian egocentriciy. As sure as fate we are on the brink of a American empire. For myself, I am glad.

I am glad that the era of love and oneness is over: I am glad that Russia flies back into savage Russianism, Scythism, savagely self pivoting. I am glad that America is doing the same. I shall be glad when men hate their common, world-alike clothes, when they tear them up and clothe themselves fiercely for distinction, savage distinction, savage distinction against the rest of the creeping world: The era of love and oneness is over. The era of world alike should be at an end. The other tide has set in. Men will set their bonnets at one another now, and fight themselves into separation and sharp distinction.

The day of peace and oneness is over, the day of the great fight into multifariousness is at hand. Hasten the day, and save us from proletarian homogeneity and khaki all-alikeness. I love my indomitable coarse men from mountain Sardinia, for their stocking caps and their splendid, animal-bright stupidity. Sometimes, in the distance one sees a black-and-white peasant riding lonely across a more open place, a tiny vivid figure.

I like so much the proud instinct which makes a living creature distinguish itself from its background. I hate the rabbit khaki protection-colour- action. A black-and-white peasant on his pony, only a dot in the 63 Ivi, p. But alas, most of the men are khaki-muffled, rabbit in the grey-green uniform: They seem to scuffle rather abased, ignominious on the earth. Give us back the scarlet and gold, and devil take the hindmost. The crowd is across the road, under the trees near the sea. On this side stroll occasional pedestrians. And I see my first peasant in costume.

He is an elderly, upright, handsome man, beautiful in the black and white costume. He wears the full-sleeved white shirt and the close black bodice of thick, native frieze, cut low. From this sticks out a short kilt or frill, of the same black frieze, a band of which goes between the legs, between the full, loose drawers of coarse linen. The drawers are banded below the knee into tight black frieze gaiters. On his head he has the long black stocking-cap, hanging down behind. How handsome he is, and so beautifully male! He walks with his 64 Ivi, pp. Poco prima aveva osservato, non senza ironia: Wherever you go, wherever you be, you see this khaki, this grey-green war-clothing.

It cases the tiny children in stiff and neutral frocks and coats, it covers their extinguished fathers, and sometimes it even encloses the woman in its warmth. It is symbolic of the universal grey mist that has come over men, the extinguishing of all bright individuality, the blotting out of all wild singleness. The lovely unapproachableness, indomitable. And the flesh of the black-and- white, the slow stride of the full white drawers, the black gaiters and black cuirass with the bolero, then the great white sleeves and white breast again, and once more the black cap—what marvellous massing of the contrast, marvellous and superb, as one magpie.

There is another peasant too, a young one with a swift eye and hard cheek and hard, dangerous thighs.

He has folded his stocking-cap, so that it comes forward to his brow like a phrygian cap. He wears close knee-breeches and close sleeved waistcoat of thick brownish stuff that looks like leather. Over the waistcoat a sort of cuirass of black, rusty sheepskin, the curly wool outside.

So he strides, talking to a comrade. How fascinating it is, after the soft Italians, to see these limbs in their close knee- breeches, so definite, so manly, with the old fierceness in them still. One realises, with horror, that the race of man is almost extinct in Europe. Only Christ-like heroes and woman-worshipping Don Juans, and rabid equality mongrels.

The old, hardy, indomitable male is gone. His fierce singleness is quenched. The last sparks are dying out in Sardinia and Spain. Nothing left but the herd-proletariat and the herd-equality mongrelism, and the wistful poisonous self-sacrificial cultured soul. But that curious, flashing, black-and-white costume! I seem to have known it before: To have dreamed it: It belongs in some way to something in me—to my past, perhaps. But the uneasy sense of blood-familiarity haunts me.

I know I have known it before. It is something of the same uneasiness I feel before Mount Eryx: La netta separazione tra i sessi determina una maniera di amarsi fatta di lotte costanti ormai sconosciute al resto degli italiani, inclini al sentimentalismo: They have straight backs, like little walls, and decided, well- drawn brows. And they are amusingly on the alert. There is no eastern creeping.

Like sharp, brisk birds they dart along the streets, and you feel they would fetch you a bang over the head as leave as look at you. Tenderness, thank heaven, does not seem to be a Sardinian quality. Italy is so tender—like cooked macaroni—yards and yards of soft tenderness revelled round everything. When the men from the country look at these women, then it is Mind- yourself, my lady. I should think the grovelling Madonna-worship is not much of a Sardinian feature. These women have to look out for themselves, keep their own back-bones stiff and their knuckles hard. Man is going to be male Lord if he can.

So there you have it, the fine old martial split between the sexes. It is tonic and splendid, really, after so much sticky intermingling and backboneless Madonna- worship. He wants that young madam over there, a young stiff-necked generation that she is. Far better sport than with the nobly-planned sort: Better sport too than with a Carmen, who gives herself away too much.

In these women there is something shy and defiant and un-get-at-able. The defiant, splendid split between the sexes, each absolutely determined to defend his side, her side, from assault. So the meeting has a certain wild, salty savour, each the deadly unknown to the other. And at the same time, each his own, her own native pride and courage, taking the dangerous leap and scrambling back. Give me the old, salty way of love.

How I am nauseated with sentiment and nobility, the macaroni slithery-slobbery messof modern adoration. To tell the truth there is something in the long, slow lift on the ship, and her long, slow slide forwards which makes my heart beat with joy. It is the motion of freedom. To feel her come up—then slide slowly forward, with a sound of the smashing of waters, is like the magic gallop of the sky, the magic gallop of elemental space. That long, slow, waveringly rhythmic rise and fall of the ship, with waters snorting as it were from her nostrils, oh God what a joy it is to the wild innermost soul.

One is free at last—and lilting in a slow flight of the elements, winging outwards. Oh God to be free of all the hemmed- in life—the horror of human tension, the absolute insanity of machine persistence. The agony which a train is to me, really. And the long-drawn-out agony of a life among tense, resistant people on land.

And then to feel the long, slow lift and drop of this almost empty ship, as she took the waters. Ah God, liberty, liberty, elemental liberty. I wished in my soul the voyage might last for ever, that the sea had no end, that one might float in this wavering, tremulous, yet long and surging pulsation while ever time lasted: How glad to be on a ship!

What a golden hour for the heart of man! Ah if one could sail for ever, on a small quiet, lonely ship, from land to land and isle to isle, and saunter through the spaces of this lovely world, always through the spaces of this lovely world. Sweet it 68 D. Ah the trembling of never-ended space, as one moves in flight! Space, and the frail vibration of space, the glad lonely wringing of the heart. Not to be clogged to the land any more.

Not to be any more like a donkey with a log on its leg, fastened to weary earth that has no answer now. But ot be off. To find three masculine, world-lost souls, and world-lost saunter, and saunter on along with them, across the dithering space, as long as life lasts! Why come to anchor? There is nothing to anchor for. Land has no answer to the soul any more. It has gone inert. Give me a little ship, kind gods, and three world-lost comrades. Attraverso la bellezza del luogo che sta osservando Lawrence immagina di fare suo lo sguardo di un contemporaneo di Omero: Morning came sunny with pieces of cloud: How wonderful it must have beento Ulysses to venture into this Mediterranean and open his eyes on all the loveliness of the tall coasts.

How marvellous to steal with his ship into these magic harbours. There is something eternally morning-glamourous about these lands as they rise from the sea. And it is always the Odyssey which comes back to one as one looks at them. Lawrence, Women in Love , Heinemann, London, , pp. One begins to realise how old the real Italy is, how man-gripped, and how withered. England is far more wild and savage and lonely, in her country parts.

Here since endless centuries man has tamed the impossible mountain side into terraces, he has quarried the rock, he has fed his sheep among the thin woods, he has cut his boughs and burnt his charcoal, he has been half domesticated even among the wildest fastnesses. This is what is so attractive aboute tthe remote places, the Abruzzi, for example. Life is so primitive, so pagan, so strangely heaten and half-savage. And yet it is human life. And the wildest country is half humanised, half brought under. It is all conscious. Wherever one is in Italy, either one is conscious of the present, or of the mediaeval influences, or of the far, mysterious gods of the early Mediterranean.

Wherever one, the place has its conscious genius. Men has lived there and brought forth his consciousness there and in some way brought that place to consciousness, given it its expression, and, really, finished it. The land has been humanised, through and through: So that for us to go to Italy and to penetrate into Italy is like a most fascinating act of self-discovery-back, back down the old ways of time.

Strange and wonderful chords awake in us, and vibrate again after many hundred of years of complete forgetfulness. This was not all known. This was not all worked out. Life was not only a process of rediscovery backwards. It is that, also: Italy has given me back I know not what of myself but a very, very great deal. She has found for me so much that was lost: But this morning in the omnibus I realise that, apart from the great rediscovery backwards, which one must make before one can be whole at all, there is a move forwards.

There are unknown, unworked land where the salt has not lost its savour. But one must have perfected oneself in the great past firts. Gradually, however, I found that my eyes were of minor importance. Gradually it was the voice that gained hold of the bloods. It is a strong, rather husky, male voice that acts direct in the blood, not on the mind. Again the old male Adam began to stir at the roots of my soul. Again the old, first-hand indifference, the rich, untamed male blood rocked down my veins.

What does one care? What does one care for precept and mental dictation? Is there not the massive, brilliant, out-flinging recklessness in the male soul, summed up in the sudden word: Let us go on. The splendid recklessness and passion that knows no precept and no school-teacher, whose very molten spontaneity is its own guide.

Son of Woman, cit. Ha ancora degli istinti vivi. Le sue stesse superstizioni sono ancora delle ispirazioni. La vera sapienza, la vera saggezza, la vera vita sono un patrimonio inalienabile di questo popolo meridionale, rimasto il medesimo nei secoli. Gli antichi italici non sono affatto morti. Randall- Manciver, Petrie, Evans, Wollery. There is a stillness and a softness in these great grassy mounds with their ancient stone girdles, and down the central walk there lingers still a kind of homeliness and happiness.

True, it was a still and sunny afternoon in April, and larks rose from the soft grass of the tombs. The tombs seem so easy and friendly, cut out of rock underground. One does not feel oppressed, descending into them. It must be partly owing to the peculiar charm of natural proportion which is in all etruscan things of the unspoilt, unRomanised centuries.

There is a simplicity, combined with a most peculiar, free-breasted naturalness and spontaneity in the shapes and movements of the underworld walls and spaces, that at once reassures the spirit. The Greeks sought to make an impressionn and Gothic still more seeks to impress the mind. The things they did, in their easy centuries, are as natural and as easy as breathing. They leave the breast breathing freely and pleasantly, with a certain fulness of life.
