Quotation by D.H. Lawrence

To come into immediate felt contact, and so derive energy, power, and a dark sort of joy. This effort into sheer naked contact, without an intermediary or mediator, is the root meaning of religion.
D.H. (David Herbert) Lawrence (1885–1930), British author. "New Mexico," Phoenix: The Posthumous Papers of D. H. Lawrence, p. 147, Viking Press (1936).
