Sun (The Short Stories of D H Lawrence)

Again a morning when the sun lifted himself molten and sparkling, naked over the sea's rim. The house faced south-east, Juliet lay in her bed and watched him rise. It was as if she had never seen the sun rise before. She had never seen the naked sun stand up pure upon the sea-line, shaking the night off himself, like wetness. And he was full and naked. And she wanted to come to him.

Sun is the sensual story of a woman rediscovering her sexuality through the power of the sun, written by the English writer D. H. Lawrence. It is included in the short story collection The Woman Who Rode Away and Other Stories, 1928.
