From Whiskey River:
"In the oldest religion, everything was alive, not supernaturally but
naturally alive … For the whole life-effort of man was to get his
life into contact with the elemental life of the cosmos, mountain-life,
cloud-life, thunder-life, air-life, earth-life, sun-life. To come into
immediate felt contact, and so to 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. Lawrence
