I believe this poem is another of D.H. Lawrence criticism of societal conventions. I think men were singled out in this piece since 19th century England (even 20th century) was mostly a male dominant society. The poet describes England as a "damp" nation badly in need of heat. And that coldness seems to have rub on the regular middle class who is now averse to change and content with living in a glory that's at best nostalgia. The poet challenges the foundation upon which societal principles are based and hints out a call on men to challenge the very values and stereotypes that have defined their lives.
