I have not had time to read his great works but I came across this wonderful poem called the 'SEVEN SEALS'. It is clear that Lawrence understood the biblical prophecies and had a positive view upon it.
SINCE this is the last night I keep you home, | |
Come, I will consecrate you for the journey. | |
Rather I had you would not go. Nay come, | |
I will not again reproach you. Lie back | |
And let me love you a long time ere you go. | 5 |
For you are sullen-hearted still, and lack | |
The will to love me. But even so | |
I will set a seal upon you from my lip, | |
Will set a guard of honour at each door, | |
Seal up each channel out of which might slip | 10 |
Your love for me. | |
I kiss your mouth. Ah, love, | |
Could I but seal its ruddy, shining spring | |
Of passion, parch it up, destroy, remove | |
Its softly-stirring crimson welling-up | 15 |
Of kisses! Oh, help me, God! Here at the source | |
I’d lie for ever drinking and drawing in | |
Your fountains, as heaven drinks from out their course | |
The floods. | |
I close your ears with kisses | 20 |
And seal your nostrils; and round your neck you’ll wear— | |
Nay, let me work—a delicate chain of kisses. | |
Like beads they go around, and not one misses | |
To touch its fellow on either side. | |
And there | 25 |
Full mid-between the champaign of your breast | |
I place a great and burning seal of love | |
Like a dark rose, a mystery of rest | |
On the slow bubbling of your rhythmic heart. | |
Nay, I persist, and very faith shall keep | 30 |
You integral to me. Each door, each mystic port | |
Of egress from you I will seal and steep | |
In perfect chrism. | |
Now it is done. The mort | |
Will sound in heaven before it is undone. | 35 |
But let me finish what I have begun | |
And shirt you now invulnerable in the mail | |
Of iron kisses, kisses linked like steel. | |
Put greaves upon your thighs and knees, and frail | |
Webbing of steel on your feet. So you shall feel | 40 |
Ensheathed invulnerable with me, with seven | |
Great seals upon your outgoings, and woven | |
Chain of my mystic will wrapped perfectly | |
Upon you, wrapped in indomitable me. ******************************** Interesting that Lawrence mentions the steel, because when I first began working with the spiritual community I wrote that the steel of God's word is stronger than iron and the iron fist that humanity faces. The steel of God's word can break the iron will of man so that they can become GOLD in the nature of the Christ. May his will be done. Interesting that although Lawrence was English, [2]his final resting place was NEW MEXICO and NEW MEXICO is where the ECO WARRIORS and angelic architects for New Jerusalem reside. 1. http://www.bartleby.com/128/33.html 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._H._Lawrence |

Adam Lanza is the spitting image of D.H. Lawrence. Now today, the news is that five people have been killed in New Mexico and it includes a priest.
