The unison with nature by D. H. Lawrence

Oh, what a catastrophe for man when he cut himself off from
the rhythm of the year, from his unison with the sun and the earth.

Oh, what a catastrophe, what a maiming of love when it was a personal,
merely personal feeling, taken away from the rising and the setting
of the sun,and cut off from the magic connection of the solstice and the equinox!
D. H. Lawrence
