Fantasia of the Unconscious illustrated David Herbert Lawrence

This pseudo-philosophy of mine - Polly analytics, as one of my respected critics might say - is deduced from the novels and poems, not the reverse. The novels and poems come unwatched out of one's pen. And then the absolute need which one has for some sort of satisfactory mental attitude towards oneself and things in general makes one try to abstract some definite conclusions from one's experiences as a writer and as a man. The novels and poems are pure passionate experience. These Polly analytics are inferences made afterwards, from the experience.
