The novel explores themes of self-discovery, artistic expression, and the search for meaning in life. Lawrence's writing style is characterized by his use of vivid imagery and his exploration of the complexities of human relationships. Aaron's Rod is considered to be one of Lawrence's most autobiographical works and is a must-read for fans of his writing.Yet he struggled under it this morning as under the lid of a tomb. The terrible sudden weight of inertia! He knew the tray stood ready by the bed: he knew the automobile would be at the door at eight o'clock, for Lady Franks had said so, and he half divined that the servant had also said so: yet there he lay, in a kind of paralysis in this bed. He seemed for the moment to have lost his will. Why go forward into more nothingness, away from all that he knew, all he was accustomed to and all he belonged to?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
