Sun
D. H. Lawrence

'Sun' is a sensual story of a woman rediscovering her sexuality through the power of the sun. But for the unexpected arrival of her businessman husband she was ready to give herself to a local peasant but is finally pulled back to respectability by her husband. But she is free to remain apart from him in the sun. "And she would rub a little olive oil into her skin, and wander a moment in the dark underworld of the lemons, balancing a lemonflower in her navel, laughing to herself. There was just a chance some peasant might see her. But if he did, he would be more afraid of her than she of him. She knew of the white core of fear in the clothed bodies of men."
