Lawrence cares comparatively little for delicacy; and the word restraint is not in his bright lexicon. In other words, he is aggressively "modern." He is one of the most skilful manipulators of free verse he can drive four horses abreast, and somehow or other reach the goal. He sees his own turbulent heart reflected stormily in every natural spectacle.
Few incidents during my unhappiest years are more vividly or circumstantially impressed upon my memory. The fear, to be sure, was absurd, but in the lurid lexicon of Unreason there is no such word as "absurd."
One of them makes verses and takes care to consult Hesychius' Lexicon. Something there immediately assures him that he is destined to be an imitator of Æschylus, and leads him to believe, indeed, that he 'has something in common with' Æschylus: the miserable poetaster!
Adams and Hancock and Franklin are paling stars, despite our printing-presses, have become little more than idle words in the school-boy's lexicon.

"Yes, yes cucumber sandwiches by all means," she assented hastily, "and the ices just as you like! Plain, I think or did you say in cases? I don't care. Only don't fail me, Mr. Ludovici." Fail her? Mr. Ludovici's lexicon did not know the word. Susanna breathed more freely as she crossed the sunny village street to the train. The station platform was deserted and bare.
An artist's work is his life where he can work best is his home. Patriotism isn't quite so bad as old Ursa Major said, but the word is not to be found in the bright lexicon of Art. The artist knows no country. His home is the world, and those who love the beautiful are his brethren.
Hastily seizing a lexicon, he assumed the attitude of the seeker after knowledge, and said, 'Come in. It was not the House-master, but Evans, Morrison's fag, who entered with pride on his face and a piece of paper in his hand.
