Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - 'Take off that mute, do!' cried Louisa, snatching her fingers from the piano keys, and turning abruptly to the violinist. Helena looked slowly from her music. 'My dear Louisa,' she replied, 'it would be simply unendu-rable.' She stood tapping her white skirt with her bow in a kind of a pathetic forbearance. 'But I can't understand it,' cried Louisa, bouncing on her chair with the exaggeration of one who is indignant with a beloved. 'It is only lately you would even submit to muting your violin. At one time you would have refused flatly, and no doubt about it.' 'I have only lately submitted to many things,' replied Helena, who seemed weary and stupefied, but still sententious. Louisa drooped from her bristling defiance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Red-Hot But Ill-Fated, 30 April 1999
By A Customer
This is Lawrence's second novel, sexier and more courageous in every way than his first, The White Peacock. It would appear to have been suggested by a brief news article about an inquest into the hanging death of a professor of music. Siegmund is a violinist who is married to Beatrice and has numerous kids. They live in Wimbledon, but he takes off with Helena, a fellow musician, for a week of red-hot but ill-fated love-making on the Isle of Wight. He is not portrayed very sympathetically, though he is definitely a Lawrentian figure. When he returns the family is not pleased. Helena and some girlfriends go down to Tintagel for a holiday, and when Helena's letters to Siegmund are not answered she decides to investigate. The writing is very evocative of the locales, and great bursts of mythological imagery enter his writing for the first time. This is a first-rate psychological study; Siegmund is a man of great potential but he suffers from myriad mysterious psychological flaws. Nothing in this novel is simple; nothing is obvious. Everything is subtle and understated, even the lovely natural descriptions that abound on every page.
