New tattoo on my left inner forearm: “only connect,” the epigraph of Howards End by my favorite writer E.M. Forster, and really the theme of all his novels (including Maurice, my favorite novel). Typewriter font. Inked by @jamesrtuck
“Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer.”
This is me, talking about how the version of “Maurice” by #EMForster that #DHLawrence read (and from which he borrowed several major plot points for his novel “Lady Chatterley’s Lover”) is not the final version of #Maurice that we have today (and even that is not the final version, because Forster wrote an epilogue that he later excluded where Maurice and Alec run off and become lumberjacks together, proving that even stuffy academics in the #Edwardian era had lumberjack fantasies).

This book is a beater but still a treasure. That's the way it goes, sometimes. I may keep it. Sci-fi by authors you might not expect, plus known entities of the genre and then some!
