Pansies

(1929)
A collection of poems by

 
 
D. H. Lawrence's best known collection of poems. The title does not refer to flowers, but is derived from the French pensees, meaning thoughts -thoughts which, according to Lawrence in his introduction, come "as much from the heart and the genitals as from the head."

In the foreword D. H. Lawrence writes: "I wish these 'Pansies' to be taken as thoughts rather than anything else; casual thoughts that are true while they are true and irrelevant when the mood and circumstance changes. I should like them to be as fleeting as pansies, which wilt so soon, and are so fascinating with their varied faces, while they last."
