D. H. LAWRENCE WAS THE ONLY MAN WHO DISLIKED CAPRI “When in doubt, move." On his first visit, Lawrence and his camp-follower Frieda settled comfortably into the grandly named Palazzo Ferraro, above the caffé  "right over Morgano’s, on the neck of Capri, looking to the sea and Naples on the right, the sea and space on the left: the duomo." The view was spectacular, but his Eden had a gall-apple produced by wasps. "The past is simply immense here, and not yet dead.  I feel like bursting into tears.” After only a week on the blessed isle Lawrence was both sick in and sick of Capri. Pleasure Island: DH Lawrence on Capri | TheArticle
