	JOYCE CAROL OATES : LAWRENCE'S GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG: THE APOCALYPTIC VISION OF WOMEN IN LOVE
		Lawrence would say that it is, for the "material interests" of which Conrad spoke so ironically are all that remain of spiritual hopes; God being dead, God being unmasked as a fraud, nothing so suits man's ambition as a transvaluing of values, the reinterpretation of religious experience in gross, obscene terms.
		Lawrence's is the sounder psychology, but it does not follow that his world view is more optimistic, for to recognize a truth does not inevitably bring with it the moral strength to realize that truth in one's life.
		Lawrence has explored the near dissolution of the personality in earlier works—in Ursula's illness near the end of The Rainbow, and in her reaction to Birkin's lovemaking in Women in Love; and in Connie Chatterley's deepening sense of nothingness before her meeting with Mellors—but never with such powerful economy as in The Escaped Cock.

	JOYCE CAROL OATES : THE HOSTILE SUN: THE POETRY OF D.H. LAWRENCE
		Lawrence was not interested in that academic, adolescent, and rather insane human concept of "The Perfect," knowing very well that dichotomies like Perfect/Imperfect are only invented by men according to their cultural or political or emotional dispositions, and then imposed upon others.
		Why Lawrence is one of the survivors and not one of the many who, confronted with this kind of despair, force their own deaths in one way or another, is a question probably unanswerable, since it brings us to a consideration of the ultimate mystery of human personality.
		To Lawrence this kind of dramatic exaggeration of one phase of erotic love—the sexually active phase—was truly obscene, as was the peculiar emphasis upon "knowing," "defining," categorizing human beings along a scale that tends to range from very sick to mildly sick, with the normal not an avenge so much as an unrealizable ideal.

		LAWRENCE (1885-1930), the son of a coal miner and a lace worker, completed his formal studies at University College, Nottingham, in 1908 and began teaching at a boys' school.

		Seven years later, Scott, Wilson, Edgar Evans and Lawrence Oates finally did indeed reach the South Pole.
		But it is here that Scott, Bowers, Wilson, Oates and Evans are at their best -- courageous but tender, self-sacrificing but self-reflective, utterly unflinching.
		They are wind-burned and frostbitten, swaddled ineffectually against the elements, but persevering for what they see as the betterment of the world (and maybe a little fame).
