of circumstance could really touch you both, if you were
together. But if you are not together, the strain becomes too
great, and you want to be alone, and she wants her mother.
And it seems to me an awful pity if, after you have tried, you
have to fail and go separate ways. I am not speaking of
vulgar outward separation: I know you would always be a
good reliable husband: but there is more than that: there is
the real sharing of one’s life. I can’t help thinking your love
for Mrs. D. hasn’t quite been vital enough to give yourself
peace. One must learn to love and go through a good deal of
suffering to get to it, like any knight of the grail, and the
journey is always towards the other soul, not away from it.
Do you think love is an accomplished thing, the day it is
recognized? It isn’t. To love, you have to learn to understand
the other, more than she understands herself, and to submit
to her understanding of you. It is damnably difficult and
painful but it is the only thing which endures. You mustn’t
think that your desire or your fundamental need is to make a
good career, or to fill your life with activity, or even to
provide for your family materially. It isn’t. Your most vital
necessity in this life is that you shall love your wife
completely and implicitly and in entire nakedness of body
and spirit. Then you will have peace and inner security, no
matter how many things go wrong. And this peace and
security will leave you free to act and to produce your own
work, a real independent workman» (D. H. L., 74).

требление глаголасвязки seem свидетельствуют о неуве
