New Statesman | A manifesto for the new man: how the Great White Male can stay relevant
D H Lawrence poems, "How Beastly the Bourgeois Is":
> Nicely groomed, like a mushroom
> standing there so sleek and erect
> and eyeable –
> and like a fungus, living on the remains
> of a bygone life
> sucking his life out of the dead leaves
> of greater life than his own.
> And even so, he’s stale, he’s been
> there too long.
> Touch him, and you’ll find he’s all
> gone inside
> just like an old mushroom, all wormy
> inside, and hollow
> under a smooth skin and an upright
> appearance.
