aleathielI just found some of the notes from my holiday and I'd forgotten that I'd copied this down:
One of the things I read at the beach (obvious beach reading, of course) was Lady Chatterley’s Lover - having just watched the Sean Bean version. Well, to be completely accurate, what I read was The First Lady Chatterley, his first version. It was Version 3 he published.
Anyway, I thought I'd share the following extract with you for your entertainment -
And with the mystery of the phallus goes the beauty of the world and beauty is more than knowledge. The knowledge of the movement of the stars and the laws of celestial gravitation is wonderful, but the beauty of the stars in their motions is more wonderful still and it is the penis which connects us sensually with the planets. But for the penis we should never know the loveliness of Sirius (that’s for all you Harry Potter fans out there) or the categorical difference between a pomegranate and an Indian rubber ball.
Man need not sacrifice the intellect to the penis, nor the penis to the intellect. But there is an eternal hostility between the two, and life is forever torn across by the conflict between them. Yet man has a holy ghost inside him which partakes the nature of both…
What are we when the phallic wonder in us is dead? We are wretched things, and evil. What are we when the penis is the mere tool and toy of the mind? We are perverted and vicious. It is the penis alone with saves men from utterly destroying the world and the phallus alone is the symbol of our unison in the blood. The cross, as the symbol of the murdered phallus, is an evil symbol and carries evil wherever it goes.
