So the Italian, so the soldier. This is the spirit of the soldier. He, too, walks with his consciousness concentrated at the base of the spine, his mind subjugated, submerged. The will of the soldier is the will of the great cats, the will to ecstasy in destruction, in absorbing life into his own life, always his own life supreme, till the ecstasy burst into the white, eternal flame, the Infinite, the Flame of the Infinite.

He examines the shrines together with their crucifixion effigies and how they change in character as his journey unfolds. He visits a church in Garda and wr
The First World War really was something wasn’t it. The confrontation of automated, industrial scale murder and the philosophical ideals of the Romantic school led to reflective works by certain authors that I, in my admittedly limited reading career, seem to find mostly unchallenged in their acuity
These 'essays' are probably better described as short travel stories - Lawrence's meditations as he traverses through Europe. Well-written and providing useful insights into the author's ever-contradictory ways of seeing the world, Twilight in Italy is a good read for anyone interested in the mechan
It seems a great irony to me that I am now reading Lawrence's "travel" books simply because I have read all his major works and so this is all that is left.

Apesar do título do livro ser "Crepúsculo em Itália", D. H. Lawrence não fala assim tanto acerca de Itália. Melhor ainda, fala, mas foca-se essencialmente nas impressões com que vai ficando durante a viagem que faz do Sul da Alemanha ao Norte de Itália.
