The poetry of Lawrence doesn`t conceal the inferiority of men and culture to nature and the wilderness. Seemingly, this provocative inferiority has made the society and rather many readers uncomfortable and displeased. But readers` disagreement with Lawrence means that deep-rooted anthropocentric consciousness has been prevailing and Lawrence subversive inversion is concreted into `Hymn of an Animal Life` in his poems. Lawrence`s hymn goes beyond `reductionism` or `the recovery of the relationship between man and nature` as it includes `the way of living in nature as a part of it.` Nature in his hymns is `not for man` or `an object to experience` but `a place to live in.` Lawrence believes that the `elan vital` for man is secured only by nature. The major concern of ecological minds is the problem of `practice.` Nowadays virtual reality is ever present, so many human experiences are undergone only by cognition. Therefore, there should be more direct and tangible eco-centrical tactics. In Lawrence`s hymn, man is only an animal which can do nothing without nature. The outspoken frankness of Lawrence`s hymn can be a good eye-opener to the present crisis of nature.
