Glitter of The Sun on The Surface of The Water

First of all, I would like to wish happy and prosperous new year to all my friends.


Now , I am about to post an article written by D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930 an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter ). I came across this article in one of the competative exam that I gave last month. So here you  are with A Piece Worth Reading.


                                        The Supreme Triumph
For man, the vast marvel is to be alive. For man, as for flower and beast and bird, The supreme Triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. Whatever the unborn and dead may know, they can not know the beauty, the marvel of being alive in the flesh. The dead may look after the afterwards.But the magnificent here and now of life in the flesh is ours, and ours alone, and ours only for a time.We ought to dance with a rapture, that we should be alive and in the flesh, and part of living, incarnate cosmos.I am Part of sun as my eye is part of me.That I am part of the earth my feet below know perfectly, and my blood is part of sea. My soul knows that I am part of the human race, my soul is an organic part of the great human soul, alone and absolute except my mind, and we shall find that the mind has no exixtence by itself, it is only the glitter of the sun on the surface of the waters, - Apocalypse, 1931.
