I remember reading Lawrence's The White Peacock when I was in my teens and thinking it was pretty deep. I reread it recently and, while I still enjoyed it, it didn't generate that same feeling of awe. But then I'm that much older and that much more crabbit, and therefore not as interested in the whole tragic love thing...
It's one of those books you have to break out the tools and excavate around - Lawrence was heavy into Schopenhauer and his theories about love.
PS: Two Schopenhauer links in my first two posts. Will that get me banned?
