RKS Literature: Marriage and the Third Thing (D.H. Lawrence)

“It is in the spirit that marriage takes place. In the flesh there is connection; but only in the spirit is there a new thing created out of two antithetic things. In the body I am conjoined with a woman. But in the spirit my conjunction with her creates a third thing, an absolute. A Word, which is neither me nor her, nor of me or her, but which is absolute.”

D.H. Lawrence, “Il Duro”, 1916.
