The Trespasser

Siegmund the musician, Helena the free woman, a few days that will not stay stolen. Lawrence’s Trespasser is desire against the timetable — class, jealousy, the Isle of Wight as a brief republic of feeling. Passion that knows it has a return ticket. A few days’ leave from a marriage and a classroom. The sea is bright; the return is the tax. Lawrence already knows that passion does not cancel the timetable, it only charges it. Helena and Siegmund’s borrowed week: the Isle of Wight as a brief republic.
