David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 – 2 March 1930) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter who published as D. H. Lawrence. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, and instinct.
Lawrence's opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile which he called his "savage pilgrimage."[3] At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. E. M. Forster, in an obituary notice, challenged this widely held view, describing him as, "The greatest imaginative novelist of our generation."[4] Later, the influential Cambridge critic F. R. Leavis championed both his artistic integrity and his moral seriousness, placing much of Lawrence's fiction within thecanonical "great tradition" of the English novel. Lawrence is now valued by many as a visionary thinker and significant representative of modernism in English literature.
PIANO
By D.H. Lawrence
Softly, in the dusk, a woman is singing to me;
Taking me back down the vista of years, till I see
A child sitting under the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings
And pressing the small, poised feet of a mother who smiles as she sings.
In spite of myself, the insidious mastery of song
Betrays me back, till the heart of me weeps to belong
To the old Sunday evenings at home, with winter outside
And hymns in the cosy parlour, the tinkling piano our guide.
So now it is vain for the singer to burst into clamour
With the great black piano appassionato. The glamour
Of childish days is upon me, my manhood is cast
Down in the flood of remembrance, I weep like a child for the past.

補充:
《查泰萊夫人的情人》（Lady Chatterley's Lover）是英國作家D·H·勞倫斯於1928年發表的小說，也是他最後一部長篇小說。
這部小說於1928年在佛羅倫斯獨立印刷，直到1960年才在英國印刷發行。勞倫斯曾考慮將這本書改名為「Tenderness」，並曾將原本的手稿大幅修改潤飾過。這本書曾發行過三種不同的版本。
這個故事中描述查泰萊夫人和她情人間的肉體關係，其中露骨的性愛描寫、和在當時屬禁忌的猥褻用詞引來許多評論家的非議，或許也是因為此書描寫的主角是勞動階級男性與資產階級女性間的關係。
這個故事的靈感據稱源自勞倫斯自己不快樂的家庭生活，故事發生的地點德比郡（Derbyshire）也是勞倫斯曾住過一段時間的地方。
