Summary Of Discord In Childhood By D. H. Lawrence

Notable for his novel "Women In Love" and many of his poetry, David Herbert Lawrence was an English poet and author born on the 11th of September 1885.

With a childhood innocence, D. H. Lawrence compared two similar occurrences at nighttime; at first, the poet described a windy night where "the wind rose, the lash of the tree/ Shrieked and slashed the wind, as a ship's" which was more like disagreement or rage. Afterwards compared the moaning and groaning of lovemaking within the house to that of windy sounds outside. The poet innocently mistake the masculine and feminine unpleasant sounds to that of disagreement or quarrel.

The two stanza poem holds the idea that childhood is truly a time of naivety and innocence. Structurally, the two stanzas are four lines per stanza.
