Odour of Chrysanthemums by DH Lawrence

This a sweet story about a collier’s wife.
Born David Herbert Lawrence, it is said that he was often angry, unhappy and ill.
He once said of his English critics:
“Curse the blasted, jelly-boned swines, the slimy, the belly-wriggling invertebrates, the miserable sodding rotters, the flaming sods, the sniveling, dribbling, dithering palsied pulse-less lot that make up England today. . . .”
I hope you enjoy this story by David Herbert Lawrence.

An absolutely beautiful and morbid tale. This story is one required in my British Literature class, and I'm so happy to have read it. Rather, happy to have had it read TO me.

He is, indeed! I'm working on two more of his stories and will post them later today.

I felt like I was there. The author’s words and your voice took me there. Thank you for a wonderful, sad experience.

Who's that?

@@notyourmothersstorytime I think that he is just Beavis and Butthead sniggering. I note that Jake hasn't given us a rendition of his own. I can't be sure but I think that his "DN" indicates, "Don't Know Lawrence".
