“Don Juan” by D. H. Lawrence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (11 Sep 1885 – 2 Mar 1930)
It is Isis the mystery
Must be in love with me.
​
Here this round ball of earth,
Where all the mountains sit
Solemn in groups,
And the bright rivers flit
Round them for girth:
​
Here the trees and troops
Darken the shining grass;
And many bright people pass
Like plunder from heaven:
Many bright people pass
Plundered from heaven.
​
But what of the mistresses,
What the beloved seven?
—They were but witnesses,
I was just driven.
​
Where is there peace for me?
It is Isis the mystery
Must be in love with me.
