Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence
D.H. Lawrence was born in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, and based many of his autobiographical novels, including Sons and Lovers, on his experiences here and in nearby towns. He went to school in Nottingham, and worked as a clerk in a factory that created surgical appliances, an experience that he also related in the novel.
From the book: “She looked at her roses. They were white, some incurved and holy, others expanded in an ecstacy. The tree was dark as a shadow. She lifted her hand impulsively to the flowers; she went forward and touched them in worship.”

And there she looked around to see many more of the flowers that had seemed to be in shame with her face more beautiful than there are. The beauty she had obtained is incomparable to any flower in the field. She knelt down, placed her hands together and looked up in agony with the sky so gloomy and looked like it was about to cry. Her loneliness has been lingering just like her beauty, and she still can't seem to comprehend why was she all by herself. The skies looked like it's about to take her, and looked like she's obliged to the skies' request to be part of its beauty. And she knows it dearly. She has prayed to the entity above, telling Him her woes; telling Him how her beauty gave her loneliness.
