초록
This article analyses the poems, essays, and hymns from The Plumed Serpent written by Lawrence in the 1920s and focuses on the vitalistic and organicistic portrayal of his experience in the Southwest. I will argue that the flows, vibrations and connections which he describes with reference to the American spirit of place, are apparent on a variety of levels in these writings, testifying to the immense artistic renewal provided by New Mexico and Mexico. The fauna and flora, primitive symbols and associations, local dances, songs and languages, all participated in the composition of Lawrence’s American subject matter and style, which, more than in any other of his creative periods, convey a newfound sense of collectivism, after the isolation and individualism of Australia, a heightened form of vitalistic spirituality and an uplifting prospect of shaping the future by reconnecting with the primitive past.
