Mornings in Mexico

“… The Mexican Indians were different in ways that came as a revelation. Different in their concepts of time, distance and money; different in their dance and music, ‘an experience of the human bloodstream’; and different, above all, in their profound sense of religion – their positive lack of one overseeing, judgemental, supernatural God. In this wonderful book, Lawrence reaches nearer than most to the animistic spirit of the Mexican Indian. To write about this fascinating people, ‘the only thing you can do is to have a little ghost inside you which sees both ways, or even many ways’. This he possessed.”
