Description

(The Rocking-Horse Winner, which first appeared in Cynthia Asquith's Ghost Book of 1926, is one of D. H Lawrence's best known stories; an eerily supernatural tale about a small boy who is determined to reverse his family's continuing ill-fortune by winning huge amounts of money at the races. In A Fragment of Stained Glass, monks at an old abbey believe they have seen the Devil trying to break in through a stained glass window. But what was really happening? Many years later a local parish priest thinks he has the answer)

Why, oh why, can humans never be content/grateful for what they have? Enough is never enough, fatally and tragically, proven by this story. A mother's love for money drives her anxious as one of her son's falls into a trance, becoming obsessed with horse racing. Why did it take the end result for her to (not) learn her lesson? Couldn't she have changed her thinking sooner? You, in a way, make part of your own luck, I'm convinced, and this mother, in part, made some of hers.
