D. H. Lawrence to Aldous Huxley (?28 October 1928), quoted in The Collected Letters of D. H. Lawrence, Volume Two, ed. Harry T. Moore (1962), p. 1096
“
Richard Aldington is exactly the same inside, murder, suicide, rape—with a desire to be raped very strong—same thing really—just like you—only he doesn't face it, and gilds his perverseness.

It interprets "Richard Aldington is exactly the same inside, murder, suicide, rape—with a desire to be raped very strong—same thing really—just like you—only he doesn't face it, and gilds his perverseness." in the context of "D. H. Lawrence to Aldous Huxley (?28 October 1928), quoted in The Collected Letters of D. H. Lawrence, Volume Two, ed. Harry T. Moore (1962), p. 1096" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
