Image-making love

And now
the best of all
is to be alone, to possess one's soul in silence

Nakedly to be alone, unseen
is better than anything else in the world,
a relief like death

(...)

Always
in the eyes of those who loved me
I have seen at last the image of him they loved
and took for me
mistook for me.

And always
it was a simulacrum, something
like me, and like a gibe at me.

So now I want, above all thing
to preserve my nakedness
from the the gibe of image-making love


(D. H. Lawrence)
