Illness

• A poem like "Nothing to Save" says little of what
  it was like for Lawrence during the last months
  of his life. He felt like almost giving up to
  illness (tuberculosis) and death. Yet, still
  miraculously alive. That was what living meant,
  to him
• There is nothing to save, now all is lost, but a
  tiny core of stillness in the heart like the eye
  of a violet. (Comp Poems 658)
• Dies at Vence in South of France on March 2,
  1930.
