This is how D.H.Lawrence's novel 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' begins, I've only just started it.
Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.
Lyrical as always, his writing.
Loved this quote so thought I would post.

nice quotation,
Yeah, isn't it?
Thanks for dropping by.
o wow, how well it fits for us too.
'no matter how many skies have fallen'
falling of the sky always gives me goosebumps
Yeah, all the cataclysmic ages have that in common, I suppose.
Have you read D.H.Lawrence Mubi? The rest of his writing gives you goosebumps too.
