초록
The sequence of “tortoise” poems trace the process from turtle birth, to adolescent desire, to sexual death, developing the central role of opposition, especially the strife of the division and union involved in sexuality. The cross on the shell of the tortoise is the axis of duality that, through the tension of opposites, forces each living being into the flux of relatedness. Thus although the tortoise begins his life as a “forerunner,” in independent wholeness, he is forced into the division foretold on his shell. The shout of the tortoise in sex is a death-agony and a birth cry, the pain of being and pain of giving birth. Sex points to the deeper secret of our need not only for strife and separation but also for connection. The connection can be established only after suffering and experience of individual destruction akin to death, as the deaths and resurrection of Christ and Osiris show us mystically. In the tortoise cycle, although Lawrence confronts his fear of sex and resentment of the female which stem from his mechanistic male ego, he is transforming to achieve a whole consciousness and a whole relationship with the universe.
Abstract
The sequence of “tortoise” poems trace the process from turtle birth, to adolescent desire, to sexual death, developing the central role of opposition, especially the strife of the division and union involved in sexuality. The cross on the shell of the tortoise is the axis of duality that, through the tension of opposites, forces each living being into the flux of relatedness. Thus although the tortoise begins his life as a “forerunner,” in independent wholeness, he is forced into the division foretold on his shell. The shout of the tortoise in sex is a death-agony and a birth cry, the pain of being and pain of giving birth. Sex points to the deeper secret of our need not only for strife and separation but also for connection. The connection can be established only after suffering and experience of individual destruction akin to death, as the deaths and resurrection of Christ and Osiris show us mystically. In the tortoise cycle, although Lawrence confronts his fear of sex and resentment of the female which stem from his mechanistic male ego, he is transforming to achieve a whole consciousness and a whole relationship with the universe.
